Ntinal, and Plead Guilty at the Bar of Thy Dread

O God of majesty and mercy! look upon those sacred marks in thy hands, feet, and side, which thou still retainest in thy glorified body, to plead in my favour. By that tender love, which induced thee to create, redeem, and sanctity me, unite the abyss of thy merits to the abyss of my misery. I declare before thy throne, and the whole court of heaven, that henceforth I choose to die rather than live to rob thee of due honour by one mortal sin. My heart was created for thee, and I love thee more than myself, or aught else beside. Every day, every hour, and every respiration of mine, especially the last, shall be an irrevocable protestation of my pure and sincere love of thy Divine Majesty.

O Sa- viour of perishing mankind ! who openest thy hand and fillest every creature with benedic- tion, give me now such a blessing as thou didst bestow on thy beloved disciples, when ascending in triumph from Mount Olivet, that I may live and die in this happy dis- position. H. Amen
