myself, by repeated transgressions, so unworthy of the glorious quality of Thy child. But now, relying on the promised assistance of Thy grace, it is my firm determination to labor all my life in fulfilling the sacred engagements which my sponsors have contracted in my name.
Yes, my God ! I renounce, for ever, Satan and all his suggestions, the world and all its pomps, sin and all its concupiscences. I am resolved, as it was promised in my behalf, to unite and attach myself more and more to Jesus Christ, my Saviour, and to make His divine laws and maxims the object of my earnest study, and the invariable rule of all my actions.
O Eternal Father ! Who wast pleased to adopt me in Thy Son Jesus Christ, as one of Thy children, and to call me to Thy celestial inheritance, revive in me the grace of this divine adoption; and since I am regenerated by Thee alone, in order to be a citizen of heaven, grant that I may live for Thee alone, and that all my desires and labors may be directed to the acquisition of heavenly goods.
O Jesus, the only begotten Son of the Father ! Who hast made me a member of Thy mystical body, washed me in Thy blood, and sanctified me by Thy holy sacraments, perfect Thy work in me. Purify my heart
