Fifth Petition
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, -----> Make us constant.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, make us constant in faith, hope, and charity; give us perseverance in all virtues, and a resolution never to offend Thee.
Let the memory of Thy Passion, and of those bitter pains Thou didst suffer for us, strengthen our patience, and support us in all tribulation and adversity.
Let us always hold fast the doctrines of the Catholic Church, and render us diligent frequenters of all holy duties.
Let no false delight of this deceitful world blind us, no evil temptation or fraud of the devil shake our hearts.
Those hearts, which have forever set up their rest in Thee, and resolved to undervalue all for Thy eternal reward.
Have mercy, etc.
Our Lord Jesus Christ humbled Himself, being made obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Hear these our petitions, O most merciful Saviour, and grant us Thy grace so frequently to repeat and consider them, that they may prove easy steps whereby our souls may ascend to the knowledge, love, and performance of our duty to Thee and our neighbor, through the whole course of our lives.
R. Amen.
Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc. Creed.
