Oratio Universalis
Lord, I believe in Thee: increase my faith.
I trust in Thee: strengthen my trust.
I love Thee: let me love Thee more and more.
I am sorry for my sins: deepen my sorrow.
I worship Thee as my first beginning, I long for Thee as my last end, I praise Thee as my constant helper, and call on Thee as my loving protector.
Guide me by Thy wisdom, correct me with Thy justice, comfort me with Thy mercy, protect me with Thy power.
I offer Thee, Lord, my thoughts; to be fixed on Thee; my words: to have Thee for their theme; my actions: to reflect my love for Thee; my sufferings: to be endured for Thy greater glory.
I want to do what Thou asketh of me: in the way Thou asketh, because Thou asketh.
