O my Divine Saviour! I most humbly beseech thee, to penetrate my soul with the most lively gratitude for the infinite love, which brought thee from heaven to suffer and die for me.

My sweet Jesus! by all thou hast done and suffered for me, grant me the grace of final perseverance.

Watch over me, O Lord! for, abandoned to myself, I shall certainly betray thee.

Incline unto my aid, O God! — O Lord! make haste to help me.

Protect me, Lord, against all my enemies; and in all dangers, appear in my defence.

I will not fear, though I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, because thou art with me, O Lord!

My Jesus! remain always with me — still support and comfort me.

O Lord! preserve me as the apple of thine eye, and under the shadow of thy wings protect me.

Assist me, my Jesus! that I may continually labor to overcome nature.

My God! teach me to know thee— teach me to know myself.

Prevent me, my Jesus! from being unfaithful to any one of thy graces.

My God! enlighten all who are in error.

Have mercy on all sinners, O Jesus! I beseech thee.

My Jesus! merciful Saviour! comfort all who are in need of consolation.

O bountiful God! provide for all who are in want.

God of Goodness! let the light of thy mercies shine on the poor souls in purgatory.

My Jesus! have mercy on all the souls in purgatory, through thy bitter passion, I beseech thee, and thy glorious name, Jesus.

O merciful Father of all mankind! for the sake of Jesus, our Divine Saviour, despise not my supplication in behalf of thy dear suffering children, who can no longer implore mercy for themselves.

Father! have pity on all thy suffering children.

Lord, that I may see!

Lord! if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

It is good for me, O Lord! that thou hast humbled me; for I have thereby learned thy justifications.
