Have mercy on me, dear Jesus, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, who am unable to help myself.
Deliver me from setting my heart upon any of thy creatures, which may divert my eyes from continually looking up to thee.
Grant me grace henceforth, for the love of thee, to hate sin; and out of a just esteem of thee to despise all worldly vanities.
Have mercy on all sinners, O Jesus, I beseech thee; turn their vices into virtues, and making them true observers of thy law, and sincere lovers of thee, bring them to bliss in everlasting glory. Have mercy also on the souls in purgatory, for thy bitter passion, I beseech thee, and for thy glorious name, Jesus.
O blessed Trinity, one eternal God, have mercy on me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and for ever, world without end. Amen.
Our Father, &c.
Hail Mary, &c.
Second Petition.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, -> help me.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, help me to overcome all temptations to sin, and the malice of my ghostly enemy.
Help me to spend my time in virtuous actions, and in such labours as are acceptable to thee.
To resist and repress the motions of my flesh to sloth, gluttony, and impurity.
To render my heart enamoured of virtue, and inflamed with desires of thy glorious presence.
Help me to deserve and keep a good name, by a peaceful and pious living; to thy honour, O Jesus, to my own comfort, and the benefit of others.
Have mercy on all sinners, &c.
