OUR
GOD, FATHER AND
PRESERVER, WHO IN YOUR GOODNESS HAS WATCHED OVER ME IN THIS PAST NIGHT
AND BROUGHT ME TO THIS GREAT DAY, GRANT THAT I MAY SPEND THE DAY WHOLLY
IN
YOUR SERVICE. LET ME NOT THINK OR SAY OR DO A SINGLE THING THAT
IS NOT IN OBEDIENCE TO YOUR WILL; BUT RATHER, LET ALL MY ACTIONS BE
DIRECTED TO YOUR GLORY AND THE SALVATION OF OF MY BRETHREN. LET ME
ATTEMPT NOTHING THAT IS NOT PLEASING TO YOU; BUT
RATHER LET ME SEEK HAPPINESS ONLY IN YOUR GRACE AND GOODNESS.

LORD, HAVE MERCY
ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
A Word of Assurance
The Summary of the
Law (Mk 12: 29-31)
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL,
THE LORD OUR GOD,
THE LORD IS ONE!
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
WITH ALL YOUR MIND,
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
This is the second
commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
YOURSELF.
There is no greater
commandment than these.
