Praises of the Most High,
Thou art holy, O Lord God ; Thou art the God of
Gods, Who alone workest wonders. Thou art strong.
Thou art great, Thou art most High, Thou art omnipotent.
Thou art the Eternal Father, King of heaven
and earth. Thou art the Triune God. Thou art good,
all good, the greatest good, O Lord God, true and
only God. Thou art Love and Charity, Thou art
Wisdom, Thou art humility, Thou art patience. Thou
art Beauty, Thou art safety, Thou art rest, Thou art
happiness. Thou art our hope and our joy. Thou art
justice and temperance, Thou art fortitude and
prudence. Thou art all riches. Thou art meekness. Thou
art our protector. Thou art our guardian and defender,
our strength and refuge. Thou art our faith,
hope, and charity. Thou art all our sweetness. Thou
art infinite Goodness, most great, most admirable.
Almighty, pious, merciful Saviour, — my Lord and
my God.
Prayer,
Omnipotent, Eternal, most Just, and most Merciful
God, grant us miserable creatures to act always for
Thee, to do always what we know Thou wiliest, and
to will always what is pleasing to Thee ; that, being
purified interiorly and enlightened and inflamed by
the fire of Thy Holy Spirit, we may follow closely in
the footsteps of Thy Beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus
Christ, and thus by Thy grace arrive at the possession
of Thee, Who livest and reignest gloriously in the
most perfect Trinity and simple Unity, Omnipotent
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
