Discover to me, O my God, the nothingness of this world, the greatness of heaven, the shortness of time, and the length of eternity.

Grant that I may prepare for death; that I may fear Thy judgments; that I may escape hell, and, in the end, obtain heaven, through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

WE pray Thee, O Almighty and Eternal God  ! who through Jesus Christ has revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue, with unchanging faith, in the confession of Thy name.
