Eternal Father, I humbly adore and thank you for having created me, and for having redeemed me by means of Jesus Christ.
I thank you for having made me a Christian by giving me the true faith, and by adopting me for your child in holy Baptism.
I thank you for having given me time for repentance after my many sins, and for having, as I hope, pardoned all my offenses against you, O Infinite Goodness!

I thank you also for having preserved me from falling again as often as I should have done if you had not held me up and saved me.
But my enemies do not cease to fight against me, nor will they until death, that they may again have me for their slave;
if you do not keep and help me continually by your assistance, I shall be wretched enough to lose your grace again.

I therefore pray of you, for the love of Jesus Christ, to grant me holy perseverance till death.
Your Son Jesus has promised that you will grant us whatever we ask for in His name.
By the merits, then, of Jesus Christ, I beg of you for myself,
and for all those who are in your grace, the grace of never more being separated from your love, but that we may always love you in this life and in the next.

Mary, Mother of God, pray to Jesus for me.
 
Amen.
