O Father of mercies,
from whom cometh all that is good,
I offer my humble petitions unto Thee
through the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Thy dearly beloved Son,
our Lord and Redeemer,
in whom Thou art always well pleased
and who loves Thee so much;
vouchsafe to grant me the grace of a lively faith,
a firm hope and an ardent charity toward Thee
and toward my neighbour.
Grant me also the grace to be truly penitent for all my
sins together with a firm purpose of never offending Thee
again;
that so I may be enabled to live always
according to Thy divine good-pleasure,
to do Thy most holy will in all things
with a generous and willing heart,
and to persevere in Thy love even to the end of my life.
Amen.
