Page 13 - VOWS AND ACT

myself earnestly to your dear creatures, doing it all for love of
you. And while I shall be concerned with the good of others,
you must know, my dear Spouse, that I entrust the care of
myself entirely to you. See to my needs yourself, attend to my
necessities and assist me; be always at my side, uproot all
vices from my heart, planting virtues instead; make me a saint,
for I surrender myself totally to you; nor do I think I belong to
myself any longer, but wholly to you.

Most Holy Mary, with all my heart I commend myself to
you; teach me yourself how to love my neighbour, provide me
with the means with which I can help others; give me this
grace, for I truly want to do it.

Dear St. Aloysius, you who did so much for your
neighbour, give me your noble, charitable heart that I too may
be a true imitator of yours.

All you Saints of Heaven, pray to Jesus for me. Amen.

Omnia possum in eo qui me confortat. (I can do all things
in Him who comforts me).

May Jesus’ Almighty power prevail for ever!
