THE JESUS PSALTER
Begin by kneeling devoutly,
or bowing, at the adorable Name of Jesus, saying: THE SECOND PART FOURTH PETITION
Jesus, comfort me, and give me grace to place my chief, my only joy and happiness in Thee. Give me the grace of contemplative prayer, inner peace and a fervent desire of Thy glory; fill my soul with the contemplation of Heaven, that I may dwell there everlastingly with Thee, Bring often to my remembrance Thy unsurpassable goodness, Thy gifts, and the great kindness why Thou hast shown me. And when Thou bringeth to my mind the sad remembrance of my sins, whereby i have so ungratefully offended Thee, comfort me with the assurance of obtaining Thy grace by the spirit of perfect repentance, which will take away my guilt, and prepare me for Thy Kingdom. Have mercy
also on the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for Thy
bitter Passion, I beseech Thee, and for Thy glorious Name, Jesus.
