Act of Adoration and Thanksgiving.

O Eternal GOD, FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST, the Beginning and End of all things, in Whom we live and move and have our being, I adore Thee with the deepest humility of body and soul. I bless Thee, and give Thee thanks that Thou hast created me out of nothing, made me in Thine own Image and Likeness, capable of loving Thee, and of eternal happiness in Thee, that Thou hast redeemed me with the precious Blood of Thy SON, and sanctified me with Thy HOLY SPIRIT, that Thou hast called me into Thy Church, assisted me by Thy grace, admitted me to Thy Sacraments, watched over me by Thy Providence, blessed me notwithstanding my sins and unworthiness, with the continuance of Thy gracious protection, and for all the innumerable blessings which I owe to Thine undeserved bounty, especially for Thy merciful preservation of me the night past, and bringing me safely to this present day. What return can I make unto Thee, O my GOD, for all that

Thou hast done unto me? I will bless Thy holy Name, and serve Thee all the days of my life. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy Name.

Act of Repentance and good Resolution.

O my GOD, how ill have I hitherto lived, how little have I done for Thee. I am heartily sorry for all my waste of Thy grace, and loss of the time which Thou gavest me, in Thy infinite mercy, to be employed in Thy service, and in working out my salvation. O my GOD, I hate all the sins I have committed against Thy Divine Majesty, I am sorry for love of Thee, that I ever offended Thee, because sin is so displeasing to Thee. I love Thee with my whole heart and soul, and I firmly purpose by the help of Thy grace to serve Thee faithfully for the time to come. Receive, I beseech Thee, the remainder of my life. I will now begin, and will endeavour to spend this day according to Thy holy Will. I will carefully avoid the failings to which I am subject [N.] and practise the virtues of my state of life and employment.

An Offering of Yourself.

I offer to Thee, O my God, the Life and Death of Thine Only SON, and in union with them I humbly offer up myself, my soul and body, my thoughts and purposes, my words and actions, my affections and resolutions, my hopes and fears, and sufferings of this day, and of my whole life, in honour of Thy Divine Majesty, in Thanksgiving for Thy Benefits, in repentance for my sins, and in petition for the help of Thy grace, that persevering to the end in doing Thy Holy Will I may love and enjoy Thee eternally in Thy Glory.

Act of Petition.

Thou knowest, O GOD, how weak and unable I am to do good. Leave me not to myself, but take me into Thy protection and give me grace faithfully to fulfil these holy resolutions. Enlighten my understanding with a living faith, sustain my will with a firm hope and enkindle in it a fervent charity. Strengthen my weakness and heal the corruption of my heart; grant that overcoming my enemies both visible and invisible, I may make good use of Thy

Grace. Give me the virtue I most want [N.] and vouchsafe to add to these blessings the gift of final perseverance.

Our help is in the Name of the LORD: Who hath made heaven and earth. Vouchsafe, O LORD, to keep us this day without sin.

O LORD, have mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us.

O LORD, let Thy Mercy be showed

upon us:

As we do put our trust in Thee.
O LORD, hear our prayer:

And let our cry come unto Thee.

O Almighty GoD, Who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men, grant unto Thy servants to love the thing which Thou commandest, and desire that which Thou dost promise; that so among the sundry and manifold changes of the world our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through JESUS CHRIST Our LORD. Amen.

Prevent us, O LORD, in all our doings, with Thy most gracious favour, and further us with Thy continual help; that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally by Thy mercy obtain everlast
