O my Lord and my God, I offer up this petition to Thee through the bitter Passion and death of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, and through the merits of His Immaculate Mother and all the saints, asking that Thy grace and Thy love may be granted to me and that my prayer may be heard according to Thy holy will. Amen.
