O my God, bless my resolutions.
I dedicate myself to your love for the rest of my life:
repentant love, stirred up by meditation on your Passion;
grateful love, sustained by consideration
of the divine blessings and all the special graces
—so numerous and often so extraordinary—
that I have received;
confident love in Jesus and Mary,
shown by a complete abandonment to divine Providence;
devoted loved, to be expressed in fidelity to my Rule,
to the duties of my state in life,
and to the inspirations of grace.
Help me, O my Savior,
to love you and to make you loved,
that you may find your rest and your joy in our houses.
Amen.
Prayer written by Fr. Leo John Dehon after making the month-long Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.
