PRAYER TO OBTAIN FINAL PERSEVERANCE.
(By St. Alphonsus.)
O sovereign and eternal God, I thank Thee for having created me; for having redeemed me by means of the passion and death of Thy Son and my Lord Jesus Christ; for having made me a Christian by calling me to the true faith, and for giving me time to repent after the many sins I have committed. O infinite Goodness, I love Thee above all things, and I repent with all my heart of all my offences against Thee. I hope that Thou hast already pardoned me; but I am still in constant danger of again offending Thee. For the love of Jesus Christ, I beseech Thee to grant me holy perseverance until death. Thou knowest my weakness and inconstancy; help me, then, and permit not that I should ever again separate myself from Thee by relapsing into sin. Rather let me die a thousand times than ever again to lose Thy grace. O Mary, my own dear Mother, obtain for me holy perseverance. Amen.
