 images of  vanity,  and  engrave  therein  the  recollection of Thy  adorable  presence. Eternal Son,  enlighten my understanding,  and  conduct  me  in  the  path  of salvation  by  the  light  of  faith. Holy Spirit,  sanctify my will  by  the  most  ardent  love;  render  it  submissive under  the  contradictions  of  this  life,  and  never permit that  by  attachment  to  my  own  ideas  or  judgment, I  should  forfeit  the  blessings  of  peace  offered to men  of  good  will  and  obedient  minds. Holy, adorable, undivided  Trinity,  by  Whose  power,  mercy, and providence  I  was  created,  redeemed,  regenerated, and preserved  to  this  moment,  receive  the  oblation  of my  whole  being,  and  take  me  out  of  the  world  rather than permit  me  to  efface  Your  sacred  image  in  my soul  by  mortal  sin. I adore  You,  O  Holy  Trinity,  I worship  You,  I  most  humbly  give  You  thanks  for having revealed  to  man  this  glorious,  this  incomprehensible mystery,  and  for  granting  to  those  who  persevere until  death  in  the  faithful  profession  of  it,  the reward of  beholding  and  enjoying  in  heaven  what  we now  believe  and  adore  upon  earth,  one  God  in  three Persons, the  Father,  the  Son,  and  the  Holy  Ghost. Amen.

LORY be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to the  Holy  Ghost;  as  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is now,  and  ever  shall  be,  world  without  end. Amen.

Indulgence of  loo  days,  thrice  a  day,  for  saying  morning, noon,  and  evening,  Gloria  Patri  thrice,  in  thanksgiving to the  Most  Holy  Trinity  for  the  graces  and  privileges granted to  most  holy  Mary,  especially  in  her  glorious  Assumption into  heaven. — Pius  VII,  July  11,  1815.
