PART II

At the name of Jesus, etc.

Sixth Petition

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, ---> Enlighten us with spiritual wisdom.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,

Jesus, enlighten us with spiritual wisdom, that we may know Thy goodness, and all those things which are most acceptable to Thee.

Grant us a clear apprehension of our only good, and discretion to order our lives according to it.

Grant that we may wisely proceed from virtue to virtue, until at length we arrive at the clear vision of Thy glorious majesty.

Permit us not, dear Lord, to return to those sins for which I we have sorrowed, and from which we have been cleansed by confession.

Grant us grace to benefit the souls of others, by our good example, and to assist those by good counsel whom Thou hast confided to our care. Have mercy, etc.

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

Seventh Petition

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

Jesus, grant us grace inwardly to fear Thee, and to avoid all occasions of offending Thee.

Let the threats of the torments which are to fall on sinners, the fear of losing Thy love and Thy heavenly inheritance, always keep us in awe.

Let us not dare to remain in sin, but return soon to repentance, lest, through Thine anger, the dreadful sentence of endless death and damnation fall upon us.
