Saviour of the world, we may be protected and saved, through thy mighty help, who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.

O God, who, out of thy unspeakable providence, art pleased to appoint thy holy angels for our guardians; give ear to the supplications which we make for a continuance of their protection, and that we may be added to their joyful number for all eternity. Amen.

May the blessed Virgin Mary, St Joseph, and all the saints, be our intercessors with the Lord, that we may be succoured and preserved by him who liveth and reigneth to everlasting ages. Amen.

May our Lord bless us, and preserve us from all evil, and bring us to life everlasting; and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

ASPIRATIONS AND EJACULATIONS,

THAT MAY BE MADE IN THE MIDST OF OUR DAILY ACTIONS.

Lord, increase my faith. Lord, I believe, help thou my unbelief. O, let me rather die than consent to the least doubt of thy sacred truths.

In thee, O Lord, is all my hope. O, let me never be confounded.

Hide me, dear Jesus, in thy wounds; bathe my soul in thy precious blood.

O Fountain of mercy, have mercy on me.

O, let nothing in life or death ever separate me from thee.

Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.

Lord, be thou my keeper, and keep me from sin. Lord, look well to me, or I shall betray thee.

O, rather let me die a

thousand deaths than offend thee mortally! O, when shall sin have an end?

O my God, teach me to love thee; teach me to serve thee as I ought.

O, that I had the hearts and tongues of all the world, that I might worthily praise thee, and love thee.

O divine Love, how little art thou loved in this wicked world! O, take possession at least of my heart, and let thy sacred flames ever burn there.

Too late have I known thee, O ancient Truth! too late have I loved thee, O ancient Beauty!

O the God of my heart, and my portion for ever. My God and my all! I desire to be dissolved, and to be with thee.

Who will give me the wings of the dove? and I will fly and repose in

thee.

As the hart pants after the fountains of waters, so pants my soul after thee, my God.

My soul hath thirsted after my God, the Fountain of life eternal. O,

when shall I come and appear in the presence of my God?

My heart and flesh rejoice exceedingly in the living God.

O Lord, enlighten my eyes, that I may never sleep in death.

The sins of my youth and my ignorances, remember not, O Lord.

From my secret sins cleanse me, O Lord; and from the sins of others, spare thy servant.

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to thy name give glory.

Into thy hands, O Lord, I recommend my spirit. Lord, save me, or I perish. Lord, make haste to help

desired thy law in the midst of my heart.

I will keep my strength, O Lord, for thee.

Turn away my eyes, that they may not look on vanity. Thou art just, O Lord, and thy judgment is right.

Lord, I have said, Now I begin; let this be the change of the right hand of the Most High. The mercies of our Lord I will sing for ever.

All ye works of our Lord, bless our Lord, praise him and magnify him for ever.

These, and such-like short acts of virtue, may be proper in the midst of your ordinary actions and employments, to be secretly repeated in your hearts, sometimes of one sort, sometimes of another, as occasion shall require and the Spirit of God shall suggest.
