O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all my associates, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month.
Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself on my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul, I pray and beseech Thee that Thou wouldst impress upon my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope, and charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm desire of amendment, while with deep affection...
O my God, Thou knowest my great poverty and misery, and that of myself I can do nothing:
Lord Jesus Let my heart never rest until it finds You, who are its center, its love, and its happiness.
Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope.
Lord Jesus Christ, take all my freedom, my memory, my understanding, and my will.
We thank you for having granted him the blessing and the strength to detach himself from the world so that the heroism of the monastic virtues of poverty, obedience, and chastity might triumph in his hermitage.
And kindle in them the fire of your love.
