and good affections which I have received from Thy Holy Spirit. I beg Thy pardon for the distractions which I have had during this meditation. I consecrate anew to Thee my whole being, my thoughts, my words, and my actions.
O holy Virgin Mary, my dear Mother and my good Patroness, obtain for me from Jesus, thy Son, the grace to put my good resolutions into practice. O my good angel, my holy patrons, and all ye saints, pray for me, that I may preserve in my heart the truths upon which I have meditated, and that I may regulate my life in accordance with them. Amen.
ANOTHER FORM OF PRAYER AFTER MEDITATION.
O MY God, I give Thee heartfelt thanks for all the graces and for all the light Thou hast conferred on me during this meditation. Pardon me, I beseech Thee, all the negligence and all the distractions of which I have been guilty. Give me strength to carry out the resolutions that I have made. Fortify me, that from henceforth I may diligently practise this virtue . . . avoid this fault . . . perform this action ... to Thy honor. Help me to do this, O sweet Virgin Mary; and do thou, my good angel, recall these good resolutions to my memory, if I should ever forget or neglect them. Omnia ad majorem Dei gloriam!
