Fourteenth Petition
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, ------> Grant us grace to fix our minds on Thee.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, grant us grace to fix our minds on Thee, especially in time of prayer, when we directly converse with Thee.
Stop the fancies of our wandering heads, and the desires of our unstable hearts; suppress the power of our spiritual enemies who endeavor to draw our minds from heavenly thoughts to many vain imaginations.
So shall we, with joy and gratitude, look on Thee as our deliverer from all the evils we have escaped, and as our benefactor for all the good we have received or can hope for.
We shall see that Thou Thyself art our only good, and that all other things are but means ordained by Thee to make us fix our minds on Thee, to make us love Thee more and more, and, by loving Thee, to be eternally happy.
O beloved of our souls, take up all our thoughts here, that our eyes, abstaining from all worldly vanities, may become worthy to behold Thee face to face in Thy glory forever.
Have mercy, etc.
Our Father, etc. Hail Mary, etc. Glory be to the Father, etc.
