An universal prayer for all which regards Salvation. I Believe in you, O my God, strengthen my belief; I hope in you, secure my hope; I love you, increase my love: I repent that I have sinned against you, augment my repentance. I adore you as my first principle, I desire you as my last end; I thank you as my perpetual benefactor, & I invoke you as my Sovereign protector. Vouchsafe O my God, to regulate me by your wisdom, to bridle me by your Justice, to comfort me by your compassion, and to protect me by your power. I consecrate to you my thoughts my words, my actions, and my sufferings; that for the future I may think of you, may speak of you, may act by you, and may suffer for you. Make my will, O Lord conformable always, and in every thing, to your most holy will. I beg that you may illuminate my understanding, may inflame my will, may purify my body, and may sanctify my Soul. Animate me, O my God, to expiate my past offences, to overcome my future temptations, to correct my predominant Passion, and to practise virtues proper to my state. Fill my heart with affection for your goodness, with aversion to my Imperfections, with zeal for my neighbour, and with contempt for the world. Put me in mind, O Lord, to be submissive to my Superiors, charitable to my Inferiors, faithful to my friends, and indulgent to my enemies. Assist me to subdue sensuality by mortification, covetousness by alms, anger by mildness, and tepidity by fervour. Render me prudent, O Lord, in undertake, constant in dangers, patiented in adversity, and humble in prosperity. Let me never forget to Join attention to my prayers, temperance to my meals, exactness to my employments, and steadiness to my resolutions. Inspire in me, O Lord, the care of keeping always an upright conscience, a modest behaviour, an edifying conversation, and a regular conduct. That I may incessantly apply myself to overcome nature, to second grace, to observe the Law, and to merit Salvation. Discover to me, O Lord, the meanness of the world, and the greatness of Heaven, the shortness of Time, and the length of Eternity. Make me prepare for Death, fear your Judgement, avoid Hell, and lastly gain Heaven. Through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
