THE PRAYER DEVOUT ACTS TO BE MADE EVERY DAY (By St. Alphonse de Liguori.)

I adore Thee, my God,
Most Holy Trinity,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
three Persons and one only God!

I humble myself in the abyss of my nothingness
to the will of Thine infinite majesty.

I firmly believe all that Thou hast deigned
to make known to me by means of the Holy Scripture
and Thy holy Church, because Thou has said so;
and I am ready to give my life a thousand times for this faith.

I place all my hope in Thee.
Whatever good I may have,
whether spiritual or temporal,
either in this life or in the next,
I hope for from Thee,
through the merits of Jesus Christ,
O God, my life and my only hope!

I love Thee, Infinite Goodness,
with all the affection of my heart and of my soul,
because Thou dost merit all my love.
I wish I knew how to love Thee as the Angels,
the Saints, and just men love thee.
I unite my imperfect love to that which all the Saints,
Most Holy Mary, and Jesus Christ, bear to Thee.

My God, because Thou art the supreme good,
infinitely worthy of being loved and served,
I am sorry and repent of all my sins,
detesting them as much as possible above every other evil.
I resolve for the future rather to die
than to consent to anything
that may give Thee the slightest displeasure.

I offer Thee now and forever my body, my soul,
and all my senses and faculties, my memory,
my understanding, and my will. Do with me, Lord,
and with all that belongs to me, what Thou pleasest.
Give me Thy love and final perseverance,
and grant that in all temptations I may always have recourse to Thee.

I resolve to employ myself entirely in those things which are pleasing to Thee,
being ready to suffer any pain and labor
in order to please Thee, saying always,
Lord, may Thy will be done!

I desire that all should serve and love Thee.
I would gladly spend my time in persuading all mankind
to love and honor Thy Majesty.

I offer to Thy Majesty all the works I shall ever do,
steeping them in the blood of Jesus, my Redeemer.

I intend to gain all the indulgences that I can in my actions this day,
and to apply them by way of suffrage to the Souls in Purgatory.

I recommend to Thee all the Souls in Purgatory, as also all sinners;
enlighten and strengthen these unhappy creatures,
that they may know and love Thee.

I rejoice exceedingly that Thy happiness is infinite,
and will never have an end.

I thank Thee for all the graces and benefits
that Thou hast bestowed upon all mankind,
but especially upon me, who have been more ungrateful than others.

My beloved Jesus,
I take refuge within Thy sacred Wounds:
do Thou there defend me this day, and forever,
from all temptations,
till Thou shalt grant me to see Thee
and love thee eternally in Paradise.

Amen.

This is my hope, and so may it be.
