Jesus Living in Mary

O Jesus, living in Mary,

Come and live in your servants
in the holiness of your Spirit,
in the fullness of your Strength,
in the perfection of your ways,
in the truth of your virtues,
in communion with your mysteries.

Come and master the enemy
in your Holy Spirit
for the glory of the Father.

Amen.

O Heart all lovable
and all loving of my Savior,
be the Heart of my heart,

of all the faculties of my soul,
and of all my senses,

Thanksgiving for Baptism

O Jesus, I adore you as the source of the great sacrament of Baptism. You are the source of the grace we receive in this sacrament. I adore your great love, your deep desires and your wonderful intention for me and for the whole Church which are made evident in this sacrament.

I thank you for the glory which you have given to yourself and to the Church through this sacrament and for the many graces received.

I ask forgiveness for failing to take advantage of the grace you have given me through Baptism and for failing to live up to the responsibilities I have accepted. I ask forgiveness for all my sins which have weakened my covenant relationship with you.

I give myself to you, O Good Jesus; renew in me the treasure of baptismal grace and enable me to fulfill al the intention and plans you have entrusted to me through Baptism.

O Jesus, live and reign in me completely. Amen.
