May God Our Lord Never Let Me

We Should Not Have A Petty Regard For God's Gifts, Though We May And Should Despise Our Own Imperfections.

As For Joy, As Little As One Can Have Of It In This Life, Experience Shows That It Is Not The Idle Who Possess It, But Those Who Are Zealous In The Service Of God.

Pardon Me, O Perfections Of My God, For Having Preferred Imperfect And Evil Inclinations To Thee! Pardon Me, O Justice Of My God, For Having Outraged Thee By My Sins. Pardon Me, O Holiness Of My God, For Having So Long Stained Thy Sight's Purity By My Sins. Pardon Me, O Mercy Of My God, For Having Despised So Long Thy Mercy's Voice. In Deep Sorrow And Contrition, I Cast Myself At Thy Feet: Have Mercy On Me.

Stand Firm And Immovable As An Anvil When It Is Beaten Upon.

The Principal End Both Of My Father And Of Myself In The Conquest Of India... Has Been The Propagation Of The Holy Catholic Faith.
