Act of Adoration

I adore Thee O God, I count myself as nothing before Thy Divine Majesty.

Thou alone art Being, Life, Truth, Beauty and Goodness.

I glorify Thee, I praise Thee,
I give Thee thanks and I love Thee,
all helpless and unworthy as I am,
in union with Thy dear Son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour and our Brother,
in the merciful kindness of His Heart
and through His infinite merits.

I desire to serve Thee,
to please Thee, to obey Thee and to love Thee always, in union with Mary Immaculate, Mother of God and our Mother, loving also and serving my neighbour for the love of Thee.

Wherefore give me Thy Holy Spirit,
to enlighten me, to correct me and to guide me in the way of Thy commandments and in all perfection, the while I look for the happiness of heaven, where we shall glorify Thee for ever and ever.
