Let the powerful intercession of Thy blessed Mother, and all Thy saints, but above all, Thine own merits and mercy, O my Saviour, ever be between Thine avenging justice and our poor souls.

Enable us, O my God, to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, and let the apprehension of Thy secret judgments render us more humble and diligent supplicants at the throne of Thy grace.

Have mercy, etc.

Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Eighth Petition

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, -----> Grant us grace to love Thee.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

Jesus, grant us grace truly to love Thee, for Thine infinite goodness, and those excessive bounties we have received, and hope forever to receive, from Thee.

Let the remembrance of Thy goodness and patience conquer the malice and wretched inclinations of our perverse nature.

Let the consideration of Thy many deliverances, Thy frequent calls, and continual assistance in the ways of life make us ashamed of our ingratitude.

And what dost Thou require of us for all Thy mercies, or by them, but to love Thee? and why dost Thou require it, but because Thou art our only good?

O dear Lord, our whole life shall be nothing but a desire of Thee and because we indeed love Thee, we will most diligently keep Thy commandments.

Have mercy, etc.

Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc. Glory be to the Father, etc.
