**God, my heavenly Father, I adore You,
and I count myself as nothing before Your Divine Majesty.
You alone are Being, Life, Truth, and Goodness.
Helpless and unworthy as I am, I honour You,
I praise You, I thank You,
and I love You in union with Jesus Christ, Your Son,
our Saviour and our Brother,
in the merciful kindness of His Heart and through His infinite merits.
I desire to serve You, to please You, to obey You,
and to love You always in union with Mary Immaculate,
Mother of God and our Mother.
I also desire to love and serve my neighbour for the love of You.
Heavenly Father, thank You for making me Your child in Baptism.
With childlike confidence I ask You for this special favour:
I ask that Your Will may be done.
Give me what You know to be best for my soul,
and for the souls of those for whom I pray.
Give me Your Holy Spirit to enlighten me, to correct me,
and to guide me in the way of Your commandments and holiness,
while I strive for the happiness of heaven
where I hope to glorify You forever.
Amen.**
