Let us pray.
O GOD, Who has taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that by the gift of the same Spirit we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O ETERNAL Father! shed upon us, we beseech Thee, the plenitude of Thy divine Spirit, and grant us an entire and perfect submission to the inspirations of Thy grace. We renounce every thought and affection which may withdraw us from Thy adorable presence, and we most earnestly implore, through the merits and sufferings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as also through the intercession of His immaculate Mother Mary, of our guardian angels, and of our patron saints, that this meditation may be conducive to Thy greater glory, and to our eternal salvation.

OFFERING OF THE RESOLUTIONS.
MY God, I offer Thee these resolutions: that I may be faithful to them, I must have Thy blessing. From Thy goodness, then, I hope to obtain this blessing, which I ask of Thee in the name and through the merits of Jesus, my divine Saviour.
Holy Virgin, Mother of my God, who art also my Mother, my guardian angel, and my holy patron saints, obtain for me the grace to keep these resolutions with perfect fidelity.
THANKSGIVING AFTER MEDITATION.
O MY God, I most humbly thank Thee for having permitted me to be so long in Thy holy presence, although so unworthy. I thank Thee for the lights
