My God, I Believe in Thee My God, I believe in Thee, but strengthen my faith. I hope in Thee, but make certain my hope. I love Thee, but multiply my love for Thee. I repent for my sins, but increase my repentance.
My God, I worship Thee, because Thou art my first Cause. I long for Thee, because Thou art my final End. I thank Thee, because Thou art my eternal Benefactor. I call upon Thee, because Thou art my Protector. My God, guide me with Thy wisdom, console me with Thy mercy, and protect me with Thy strength. To Thee I dedicate: My thoughts, my words, my works, my worries and my afflictions, so that henceforth: I may not think, except only of Thee, I may not speak, except only for Thee, I may not work, except only for Thee and I may not be upset, only for Thee. Lord, strengthen my will so that I may want: that which Thou wantest, because Thou wantest it, and as much as Thou wantest. I beseech Thee: Enlighten my mind, be Master of my will, cleanse my body and sanctify my soul. My God, help me: in the expiation of my previous sins, in the correction of passions and faults which dominate me, and in the practice of virtues which belong to my will.
