Place Yourself in the Presence of God and Humbly Adore Him.

GREAT God! the Lord of heaven and earth! I prostrate myself before Thee. With the adorable Heart of Jesus, the immaculate heart of Mary, and with all Thy angels and saints, I adore Thee, and render to Thee the homage of my being and life. I acknowledge Thee to be my Creator and sovereign Lord. I devote myself to Thy divine service now and for ever. Amen.

AN ACT OF FAITH.

O MY God! I firmly believe all the sacred truths which Thy Holy Catholic Church believes and teaches; because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived.

AN ACT OF HOPE.

O MY God! relying on Thy infinite power, goodness, and promises, I hope to obtain the pardon of my sins, the assistance of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
