A Midnight Prayer 7

Thou knowest, O Jesus,
the extreme difficulty we experience
in subduing and subjecting ourselves to Thee;
suffer not his difficulty to hinder us from accomplishing it.
It is just we should prefer Thy glory,
and Thy holy will,
to our own will and gratification,
and hence we are resolved to do so.
Strengthen us in this resolution,
and make us faithful;
grant that all in us may yield to Thee,
that advancing daily in virtue,
and leading a supernatural and,
through Thy merits, an acceptable life,
we may become worthy of Thy grace here,
and of Thy eternal glory hereafter. Amen.
