Eleventh Petition

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, ---> Grant us grace to avoid bad company.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

Jesus, grant us grace to avoid bad company and to shun the society of the worldly; but when duty or accident brings us into contact with them, we beseech Thee, by the sanctity of Thy conversation among sinners, to defend us and preserve us from being overcome by any temptations to mortal sin.

Cause us, O blessed Lord, to remember always with dread that Thou art present and will take an account of all our words and actions, and judge us according to them.

Repress in us, dear Jesus, all inordinate affection for the pleasures of taste and of sense, and grant us grace to avoid; all such as would excite the fire of these unhappy appetites.

Thy power defend, Thy wisdom direct, Thy fatherly pity chastise us and make us live so here among men that we may be fit for the conversation of angels hereafter.

Have mercy on all sinners, Jesus, we beseech Thee, turn their vices into virtues, and making them true observers of Thy law, and sincere lovers of Thee, bring them to bliss in everlasting glory.

Have mercy also on the souls in purgatory, for Thy bitter Passion, we beseech Thee, and for Thy glorious name, Jesus.

O Blessed Trinity, one eternal God, have mercy on us.

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