my rebellions in act or in spirit against Thee; all my failures to obey Thy graces and Thy gracious calls; all my mistrust of Thy love and good will towards me; all I have ever done or said or thought or felt against or beside Thine All-holy Will. And even now I do not love Thee, do not trust Thee, do not thank Thee as I ought. But what I cannot do, Thou wilt do for me, O my GOD. O blot out then, by the Precious Blood of Thy SON, my LORD, all which is against me. I cast it all into His deep and sorrowful Wounds; O may it all be hidden, may I be hidden, there! May I love Thee the more because Thou so forgavest me, hast so loved me; may I continue in Thy love unto

the end; may I so love Thee and so thank Thee that my whole being may be one jubilee of thanks and love.

And now, O GOD, I do desire this day most earnestly to please Thee; to do Thy will in each several thing which Thou shalt give me to do; to bear each thing which Thou shalt allow to befall me contrary to my will, meekly, humbly, patiently, penitently, as a precious gift from Thee to subdue, self-will in me; and to make my will wholly Thine. What I do, make me do simply as Thy child; let me be throughout the day as a child in his [her] loving FATHER'S Presence, ever looking up to Thee. If I joy, joying before Thee; if I

sorrow, sorrowing unto Thee; if I work, working for Thee; if I rest, resting in Thee. May I breathe, think, speak, act in Thy love. May I love Thee for all Thy love. May I thank Thee, if not in words, yet in my heart, før each single gift of Thy love, for each refreshment of my body, for each comfort which Thou allowest me day by day. May I do nothing without looking to Thy grace, if not actually yet by the habit of my mind. Teach me how, momentarily, to ask Thee, silently, for Thy help. If I fail, teach me at once to ask Thee

to forgive me. If I do anything ever so little well, teach me at once to thank Thee and own it all Thine. If I am dis

quieted, enable me, by Thy grace, quickly to turn to Thee. O that with every breath I could tell Thee how I would love Thee: O that I could win others to Thy Love. O that I could be perfected in Thy Love. O that all my acts and words were penetrated, ensouled, transfigured with Thy Love. May nothing this day come between Thee and me. May nothing for one moment separate me from Thee, or hide Thee from me. May I will, do, say, just what Thou, my loving and tender FATHER, willest me to will, do, say; and may I not will, say, or do whatever Thou, Who so wisely and tenderly willest all things for my well-being and my salvation, willest me not to will, say, or do.

Work Thy Holy Will in me and through me this day. Protect me, guide me, bless me, within and without, that I may do something this day for love of Thee; something which shall please Thee; and that I may this evening be nearer to Thee, though I see it not nor know it. Lead me, good LORD, in a straight way unto Thyself, and keep me in Thy grace unto the end, through JESUS CHRIST my LORD and SAVIOUR.

O Good JESU, my SAVIOUR and my GOD, Thou, Who didst make me, knowest how weak I am. Thou knowest, good LORD, that I am tempted to [Here name the temptations to it, and the ways in which you sin, as far as you know
