O Father ! O Son! O Holy Ghost !

O Holy Trinity ! O Jesus ! O Mary!

O ye blessed Angels of God !

1. Ever to do the holy will of God.

2. Ever to live in union with God.

3. Never to think of any one but God.

4. To love God alone.

5. To do all for God.

6. To seek alone God's glory.

7. To sanctify myself for God alone.

8. To know well my own utter nothingness.

9. Ever to know more and more the Will of my God.

Then say three Gloria Patri in honour of the most holy Blood of Jesus Christ; one Hail Mary, in honour of the sorrows of Mary most holy; and one Requiem æternam, &c, in behalf of the holy souls in purgatory.
