MORNING PRAYERS.

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault: therefore I beseech the blessed Mary, ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, to pray to the Lord our God for me.

May the Almighty God have mercy on us, and forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting. Amen.

May the Almighty and merciful Lord give us pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins. Amen.

An Act of Faith of the Presence of God.

MY God, I firmly believe thou art here. and perfectly seest me, and that thou observest all my actions, all my thoughts, and the most secret motions of my heart. Canst thou suffer in thy holy presence a sinner, who has so often offended thee? It is thy goodness and liberality which invite and command my poverty to come to thee. Give me grace, therefore, to pray as I ought.

Come, O Holy Spirit! fill the hearts of thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of thy love.

V. Send forth thy Spirit, and our hearts shall be regenerated.

R. And thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
