THE JESUS PSALTER
Begin by kneeling devoutly,
or bowing, at the adorable Name of Jesus, saying: THE SECOND PART THIRD PETITION
Jesus, strengthen me in souls and body, to please Thee in doing such works of virtue as may bring me to Thy everlasting joy and happiness. Grant me a firm purpose, most merciful Savior, to amend my life, and to compensate for the years past: Those years which I have misspent in vain or wicked thoughts, words, deeds, and evil habits. Make my heart obedient to Thy will, and ready, for Thy love, to perform all the works of mercy. Grant me the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which by a virtuous life, and devout frequenting of Thy most Holy Sacraments, will bring me to Thy Heavenly Kingdom. Have mercy also on the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for Thy bitter Passion, I beseech Thee, and for Thy glorious Name, Jesus.O Blessed Trinity, One Eternal God, have mercy on me.
