Prayer before any Good Works

(Whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."

[Col. 3:17])

O Jesus, sweet Jesus, O Jesus divine,

My life and my death unto Thee I resign.

Every action of mine shall Thy patronage claim;

For whatever I do shall be done in Thy name.

(Renew your good intention frequently during the day and especially as the beginning

of any important work or duty by some short ejaculatory prayer, for example:)

All in the name of Jesus.

All for the glory of God.

All for Jesus.

All for the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the immaculate heart of Mary.

In the name of the Father, +

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Come Holy Spirit,

enlighten my mind and direct my will,

that I may do what is pleasing to Thee

and conductive to my salvation.
