foot of Thy cross, in company with our dear Lady of
Sorrows.

to give me the grace to free myself once for all from my
predominant passion, and the sin into which I most often
falL (Here mention the particular passion, m sin, or

knowest to be most expedient for me, for Thy greaterglory

crown and perfection of all Thy other gifts, the grace
of final perseverance. Bless me that I may live a
holy life, die a happy death and glorify Thee eternally
in heaven.
