My heart hath uttered a good word! I speak my wants to the King.
I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord! they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life.
The mercies of my God I will sing for ever.

Sometimes say:
O my Jesus! I unite this action to those which thou didst perform, whilst on earth, for the glory of thy Father and for the salvation of souls.
From time to time during your actions, say:
My God! it was for thee I began, and it is for thee, I continue; let all that I do, be always done for thy glory, for my own sanctification, and for the salvation of souls. I renew the offering of this action especially for ________.
