On my knees before the multitude of heavenly witnesses,
I offer myself, soul, and body to Thee, Eternal
Spirit of God.
I adore thee, Great God, and I acknowledge Thy
dominion over me.
Thou art the light and the strength of my soul,
in Thee I live and move and have my being.
I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness
to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept
from the smallest sin against Thee.
Make me faithful in every thought, and grant that
I may always listen to Thy voice, watch for Thy
light, and follow Thy gracious inspirations.
I cling to Thee, and give myself to Thee, and
ask Thee by thy compassion to watch over me in
my weakness.
Holding the pierced feet of Jesus, looking at
His five wounds, trusting in his Precious Blood,
and adoring His Sacred Heart lacerated for love
of me, I implore Thee, Holy Spirit Helper of my
infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace, that I
may never sin against Thee with the sin which
Thou canst forgive.
Give me grace, O Holy Ghost, Spirit of the Fathers
and the son, to say to Thee always and everywhere,
"Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth." |
