 Make us,  O  dear  Redeemer,  seriously  weigh  those  severe words of  Thine:  "He  only  that  perseveres  to  the  end  shall be  saved."

Have mercy,  etc.

Our Father,  etc. Hail Mary,  etc.  Glory  be  to  the Father, etc.

esus, Jesus,  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus, --> Grant us grace to fix our minds on Thee. Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus,

Jesus, grant  us  grace  to  fix  our  minds  on  Thee,  especially in time  of  prayer,  when  we  directly  converse  with  Thee.

Stop the  fancies  of  our  wandering  heads,  and  the  desires of our  unstable  hearts;  suppress  the  power  of  our  spiritual enemies who  endeavor  to  draw  our  minds  from  heavenly thoughts to  many  vain  imaginations.

So shall  we,  with  joy  and  gratitude,  look  on  Thee  as  our deliverer from  all  the  evils  we  have  escaped,  and  as  our benefactor for  all  the  good  we  have  received  or  can  hope  for.

We shall  see  that  Thou  Thyself  art  our  only  good,  and that all  other  things  are  but  means  ordained  by  Thee  to make  us  fix  our  minds  on  Thee,  to  make  us  love  Thee  more and more,  and,  by  loving  Thee,  to  be  eternally  happy.

O beloved  of  our  souls,  take  up  all  our  thoughts  here, that our  eyes,  abstaining  from  all  worldly  vanities,  may become worthy  to  behold  Thee  face  to  face  in  Thy  glory forever.

Have mercy,  etc.

Our Father,  etc. Hail Mary,  etc.  Glory  be  to  the Father, etc.

esus, Jesus,  Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus, -> Grant  us  grace  to  order  our lives  toward  our  eternal  welfare. Jesus, Jesus,  Jesus,

Jesus, grant  us  grace  to  order  our  lives  toward  our  eternal welfare, heartily  intending  and  wisely  designing  all  the operations of  our  souls  and  bodies  for  obtaining  the  reward of Thine  infinite  bliss  and  eternal  felicity.
