From all my sins and offences, and the punishment due to them.
From all temptations, and the snares of the devil.
From all impatience and repining at thy just chastisements, O Lord deliver us.
From dejection of spirit, and diffidence in thy mercies,
From all undue fears of death, and all immoderate desires of life,
From distraction of mind, and neglect of preparation for eternity,
By thy cross and passion,
By thy death and burial,
By thy glorious resurrection and ascension,
By the grace of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
In the hour of death, and in the day of judgment,
That it would please thee to comfort me in sorrows, and enable me to look to a blessed life beyond death, I beseech thee, to hear me.
That it would please thee to remind me of all thy mercies, and by them encourage me to a sure confidence in thee, I beseech thee, to hear me.
That thou wouldst grant me the grace to order all my temporal affairs with prudence, justice, and charity; and with a free and quiet mind wholly to dispose myself for heaven, I beseech thee, to hear me.
That thou wouldst sanctify this thy fatherly correction of me, that the sense of my weakness may add strength to my faith, and seriousness to my repentance, I beseech thee, to hear me.
That thou wouldst grant me the grace to confess sincerely, to repent of all my sins, and bestow on me perfect remission and forgiveness of them, I beseech thee, to hear me.
