Dear Lord, as my life declines and my energies decrease,
more than ever, hold me by Your Power so that I may daily
increase in Your love. Give me strength to work in your
service till the last day of my life. Help me to ever have an
increasing dread of venial sin, or what ever would cause the
slightest withdrawal of Your love all day long, and at night,
keep me close to your heart. Should I die before the morning
breaks, may I go rejoicing in that vision of Your entrancing
beauty, never to be separated from you. Amen.
