O most holy Trinity, have mercy upon us: O Lord, cleanse our sins: O Master, forgive our transgressions: visit us. [xxiv] O Holy One, and heal our infirmities, for thy name’s sake. Lord, have mercy, three times. Again, Glory to the Father ... ages of ages. Amen. The Lord’s prayer, ending, deliver us from evil. Priest. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages. ”

“ LORD Jesus, most merciful Saviour of the world, we humbly beseech Thee, by Thy most Sacred Heart, that all the sheep who stray out of Thy fold, as well as those who are held by the darkness of error, may be converted to Thee, the Shepherd and Bishop of their souls Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, forever and ever. ”

“ Early in the morning, Lord, will I come unto Thee, and will look up; though I am not worthy to look up by reason of my sin, nor to lift up so much as my eyes unto heaven; but my trust is in Thy mercy, therefore will I lift up my soul. Blessed be Thy name, God our Father. Blessed be Thy name, God the eternal Son, our Saviour. Blessed be Thy name, God the Holy Ghost, our Sanctifier. ”

“ Almighty Father—Thou who dwellest in the heavens, and who sittest upon the throne of thy glory and power, we beseech thee to behold us, in great mercy, from thy celestial courts, and listen to our prayers which we this day offer to thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, thy Son. ”

“ Mirror of beauty and loveliness, of whom and by whom it pleased our Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the King of heaven, the brightness of his Father’s glory, to be born and nourished, obtain for me, O blessed Lady, from thy only-begotten Son, whatsoever thou knowest to be necessary for the salvation of my soul. ”

“ As Thou, most beloved Saviour, didst so gloriously deliver us from the kingdom of darkness and mercifully received us into the kingdom of grace—into Thy Christian church, grant us also to be blessed saints of heaven, and heirs of Thine eternal glory, for the sake and honor of Thy great name. ”

“ And having beheld Him giving His life as the divine sacrifice, and rising in triumph over death to be our great High Priest in the heavenly temple, as we read these Sacred Scriptures yet again, in every book, from Genesis to Revelation, we see Him as the coming King of kings, coming to take His children to the eternal home of the saved. The whole book is a bright window through which we gaze on coming glory. ”

“ To Sinners, weak, worthless, and mourning, God has sent his dear Son: here is God descending, and the Holy Spirit bearing an internal clear testimony to the soul, that it is born of God; leading us to see him, and sweetly persuading the soul to say, Father!—while he shines into the heart, and gives us the light of the knowledge of his glory. This is illumination indeed! His glory is seen in pardoning sin, displaying his free grace, and exalting a precious Jesus! ”

“ The Holy Lord of angels sitteth with the prophets in heaven above; the Son of glory hath His throne amid the heavens, and by His healing leadeth us up thither to the light, where we may sit with God on high among the angels, and have that radiance where His holy host now dwelleth, and live in joy. There is the blessedness of glory radiantly revealed! Let us take thought to serve the Saviour gladly and be pleasing unto Christ! There is more glorious life than we may ever gain on earth. ”

“ O most adorable Saviour Jesus Christ, open thou my heart and my lips to praise and glorify thy holy name, which above all names is blessed. Purify my soul from all evil and perverse thoughts, that my lips may continually bless thee, and my life glorify thee; and, since through thy goodness I have been created to the praise and glory of thy holy name, grant, I beseech thee, that in the sight of thy divine majesty I may faithfully serve thee here, and eternally rejoice with thee hereafter, who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, one God, world without end. ”

“ Born, to redeem us,
Behold the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
True God of True God,
Light of Light Eternal,
Lo, He abhors not the Virgin's womb:
Son of the Father,
Begotten, not created ”

“ I offer to Thee, O Lord, my whole being, and in particular all my thoughts, words, actions, and sufferings of this day. I consecrate them all to the glory of Thy name, beseeching Thee that through the infinite merits of Jesus Christ, my Saviour, they may all find acceptance in Thy sight. May Thy divine love animate them, and may they all tend to Thy greater glory. ”

“ I could not do without Thee Leave God to order all thy ways My Saviour, mid life's varied scene I seek the kingdom first In heavenly love abiding Dear Lord and Father of mankind Jesu, nay Truth, my Way O Jesus, I have promised O Thou who art of all that is Jesu, Thy boundless love to me My Saviour, Thou Thy love to me O Love divine, how sweet Thou art! ”
