THE JESUS PSALTER
Begin by kneeling devoutly,
or bowing, at the adorable Name of Jesus, saying: THE SECOND PART FIFTEENTH PETITION
Jesus, give me grace to order my life for my eternal happiness with Thee; that all my actions, body and soul, may fit me for destiny with Thee. May I see
the world as the place that prepares me for
the next life by desiring
Break me of my proud spirit, O Jesus; make me humble and obedient to Thy will: grant me the grace to depart this life in the state of sanctifying grace, filled with joy at my going unto Thee. Let the memory of Thy passion help me to undergo all temptations and sufferings out of love for Thee and let my soul long for Thee and immortal glory with Thee in Heaven as Thy servant. O Jesus, let me frequently and attentively consider, that whatever I gain, that if I should love Thy grace and friendship, all is lost to me; and that whatever I lose, if I gain Thee, I have gained everything. Have mercy
also on the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for Thy
bitter Passion, I beseech Thee, and for Thy glorious Name, Jesus.
He was humbler yet, even to
accepting death, death on a Cross.
