Let Us Pray.

Grant me Thy grace, O Father,
that perfect resignation to Thy Holy Will may be with me,
and labour with me,
and continue with me to the end.
Grant me always to desire
and will that which is most acceptable to Thee
and which pleaseth Thee best.
Let Thy will be mine,
and let my will always follow Thine
and agree perfectly with it.
Let me always will and not will the same with Thee;
let me not be able to will or not will anything
except what Thou wiliest or wiliest not.

R. Amen.
