In the morning when I waken I say O my God I will raise myself up from this bed of sleep to adore thee my God to labour for the salvation of soul. - Prayer
Dear Jesus I give Thee thanks for bringing me safe during this night
Show us thy holy face O Lord and we shall be saved. Thy servant ariseth O Lord have mercy on me. Dear Jesus grant me the grace to love you more and more. O Holy St Joseph head of the Holy Family pray for me. O my God I love you O my God I adore Thee
Jesus meek and humble of heart make my heart like to thine.
