![]() O Lord, grant me your divine light, that I may know the designs of your providence concerning me, and that, filled with a sincere desire for my soul’s salvation, I may say, with the young man in the Gospel: “What must I do to he saved?” All states of life are before me but, still undecided what to do, I await your commands, I offer myself to you without restriction, without reserve, with a most perfect submission. Seal me, in your mercy, with the seal of a disciple of Jesus Christ, unto everlasting life and grant that, carrying the cross upon my forehead, I may carry it also in my heart, and confessing you boldly before men, may merit to be one day reckoned in the number of your elect. Grant unto me the spirit of Wisdom, that I may despise the perishable things of this world, and love the things that are eternal the spirit of Understanding, to enlighten me and to give me the knowledge of religion the spirit of Counsel, that I may diligently seek the surest ways of pleasing God and obtaining heaven the spirit of Fortitude, that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation the spirit of Knowledge, that I may be enlightened in the ways of God the spirit of Piety, that I may find the service of God both sweet and amiable the spirit of Fear, that I may be filled with a loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease him. O almighty and eternal God, you have adopted me as your child in the holy sacrament of Baptism granted to me the remission of my sins at the tribunal of penance and has fed me with the bread of angels perfect in me, I beseech you, all these benefits. ![]()
