To Which I Am Most Enslaved (name Them)

Grant me, O Lord, the dispositions to obtain such portion thereof as may be necessary to discharge the debt of temporal punishment due to my sins. Suffer me now to partake of the infinite merits of Christ, that the immense ransom which he has paid for my salvation, being applied to my poor sinful soul, I may be released from the punishment which it has otherwise so justly deserved. I beseech thee, also, O most bountiful Lord ! to pour down thy blessing upon thy holy Catholic Church ; on its su- preme pastor, the pope [name him] ; on the pastor to whom the care of thy flock in this diocese or district is committed [ name him] ; upon our queen and all the royal family ; upon all the bishops and clergy throughout the whole world. Enlighten poor infidels, heretics, and sinners, and assist such apostolic missionaries as labour in their con- version. Unite all mankind in the profession of the true faith : give them the spirit of Divine charity, whereby they may love thee above all things, and for thy sake love each other. Have compassion on the suffering souls of the faithful departed. Give thy blessing to my parents, friends, relations, and benefactors: preserve them from eternal misery : and conduct us all by thy grace to COMMUNION. 135 the mansions of eternal bliss, there to praise and glorify thee for ever. Amen
