God Alone Suffices

I offer you, Lord, my thoughts:

to be fixed on you;
my words:

to have you for their theme;
my actions:

to reflect my love for you;
my sufferings:

to be endured for your greater glory.

I want to do what you ask of me:
in the way you ask,
for as long as you ask,
because you ask it.

I pray, Lord, that you enlighten my mind,

inflame my will, purify my heart, and sanctify my soul.

O Mary, Mother of God and my Mother, pray also to Jesus for me. Saint Alphonsus

Pope Clement XI
