beseech Thee, that Thou wouldest keep me stedfast in this faith, and evermore defend me from all adversities, Who livest and reignest, One GOD, world without end. Amen.

For Hope.

GOD, Whose blessed Son was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil, and make us the sons of GOD, and heirs of eternal life; Grant, I beseech Thee, that, having this hope, I may purify myself, even as He is pure; that, when He shall appear again with power and great glory, I may be made like unto Him in His eternal and glorious kingdom; where with Thee, O FATHER, and Thee, O HOLY GHOST, He liveth and reigneth, ever One GOD, world without end. Amen.

For the Love of GOD.

GOD, Who hast prepared for them that love Thee such good things as pass man's understanding; Pour into my heart such love toward Thee, that I, loving Thee above all things, may obtain Thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

C

For Love towards our Neighbour.

LORD, Who hast taught us that all our

doings without charity are nothing worth ; Send Thy HOLY GHOST, and pour into my heart that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before Thee: Grant this for Thine only SON JESUS CHRIST'S sake. Amen.

GR

For Mortification.

RANT, O LORD, that as I have been baptized into the death of Thy blessed SON our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, so by continual mortifying my corrupt affections I may be buried with Him; and that through the grave, and gate of death, I may pass to my joyful resurrection; for His merits, Who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, Thy SON CHRIST our LORD. Amen.
