Gahan, William
Catholic Church -- Liturgy; Catholic Church -- Prayers and devotions -- English
art, a God of infinite goodness, to deal in such a compassionate
manner with so miserable a sinner: and therefore, I humbly
beseech thee to imprint on my heart a just sense of this favour,
that I may gratefully remember it all the days of my life, and
extol without ceasing the multitude of thy mercies. Amen.
{100}
O most sweet Lord Jesus! graciously vouchsafe to remember all
those holy thoughts that have passed in thy divine mind from the
beginning of the world to this very moment, and particularly thy
tender design in becoming man for the redemption of the world:
pardon, through the merits of these, not only all the evil
thoughts and vain imaginations I have ever conceived of myself,
but also those I might have excited in the minds of others. Amen.
O most pious Lord Jesus! I, a poor sinner, do humbly remind thee
of all those words of salvation which have ever fallen from thy
sacred lips, or which others have uttered, or shall hereafter
utter, to the glory of thy holy name. I earnestly beseech thee,
through these divine expressions, to forgive whatever I have
spoken offensive to thee, or what others, through my means, may
have sinfully uttered. Amen.
O most amiable Lord Jesus Christ! look on all the good works thou
has performed for our salvation; and be pleased now to pardon
whatever I have committed against thee. Mercifully direct all my
thoughts, words, and actions, to thy greater glory, and regulate
them by the model of thine own blessed life. Amen.
O Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world, who invitest the sinner to
return to thee, kindly receiving, refreshing, and consoling him,
remember that with thy precious blood thou wert pleased to redeem
me. To thy sacred wounds I fly for refuge; and as in thy mercy
thou didst pray for thine enemies, and pour forth thy life for
thy persecutors and tormentors, so impart here to me the benefit
of thy passion; Grant I may never again crucify thee by mine
offences, but that sincerely grieving for what is past, and
resolutely striving against future temptations, I may fervently
persevere in thy service to the end.
{101}
Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my whole being. O Jesus, Son of
David, have mercy on me.
