knowest the clay of which we are

formed, be Thou our mediator with Thy heavenly Father, whom we have so grievously offended. Strengthen our weakness; confirm our resolution; and with Thy charity, humility, meekness, and patience, cover the multitude of our iniquities. Be Thou our support, our refuge, and our strength, that nothing henceforward, in life or death, may separate us from Thee. Amen.

MOST amiable Heart of Jesus, beloved object of our most tender affections, may all honor, glory, love, and benediction, be ever given to Thee! Be thou our prosperity, our safety in dangers, and protection against all our enemies, visible and invisible. Amen.
