15
ETERNAL FATHER, I offer Thee the
Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all Its Love,
all Its sufferings and all Its merits:
TO EXPIATE all the sins I have committed
this day, and during all my life.
Glory be to the Father, ...
TO PURIFY the good I have done in my
poor way this day, and during all my
life. Glory be to the Father, ...
TO MAKE UP for the good I ought to
have done and that I have neglected
this day, and during all my life.
Glory be to the Father, ...
Recite Act of Contrition:
O MY GOD, I am heartily sorry for
having offended Thee, and I detest all
my sins, because I dread the loss of
Heaven and the pains of Hell but, most
of all, because I have offended Thee, my
God, Who art all-good and deserving
of all my love! I firmly resolve, with
the help of Thy grace, to confess my
sins, to do penance, and to amend my
life. Amen.
Extreme Unction: Each night, I should
pray for this Last Anointing (however
near or distant it may be). This
Sacrament, received worthily, will insure
my death in Christ’s friendship. It
is the greatest grace we can ask of
God! A happy death means a Heaven
of eternal happiness. A bad death
means a Hell of eternal misery.
An ACT of RESIGNATION
MY LORD GOD, even now I accept at
Thy Hands, cheerfully and willingly, with
all its anxieties, pains and sufferings,
whatever kind of death it shall please
Thee to be mine. Amen.
(7 years indul. each time)
(Plenary indulgence, under the usual
conditions, to be applied at death)
JESUS, MARY, JOSEPH,
I give Thee my heart and my soul.
JESUS, MARY, JOSEPH,
assist me in my last agony.
JESUS, MARY, JOSEPH,
may I breathe forth
my soul in peace with Thee. Amen.
(7 years indul.)
PROTECTION during the NIGHT:
VISIT, we beseech Thee, O Lord, this
place, and drive far from it all snares
of the enemy. May Thy holy Angels
dwell herein to keep us in peace, and
may Thy blessing be on us always.
Amen.
PRAYERS DURING THE DAY
COMMUNE with GOD DURING the DAY
H
oly Eucharist: Every one of us
frequently thinks of God and speaks
of God during each day, sometimes
even taking His Name in vain. Develop
the good habit of silent, ejaculatory
prayer. By such spiritual communing
with God or by any simple aspiration
of the soul, even a “prayer without
words” while at work, during a temptation
or while carrying a cross, you
will thereby prepare for sacramental
Communion. By this Sacrament of
His very Body and Blood, His Soul
and Divinity, Jesus satisfies man’s
instinctive hunger for a personal
union with his God.
(Memorize, recite frequently during
the day for your protection here,
and for your salvation hereafter.)
My Jesus, mercy! (300 days indul.)
All for Thee, O most Sacred Heart of
Jesus! (300 days indul.)
Blessed be the Name of God!
(50 days indul., if recited upon hearing
a blasphemy)
