Morris, S.J.Mighty God, Father of all, Compassionate God, Mother of all, Bless every person I met, every face I have seen, every voice I have heard, especially those most dear; bless every city, town and street that I have known, bless every sight I have seen, every sound I have heard, every object I have touched. In some mysterious way these have all fashioned my life: all that I am, I have received. Great God, bless the world.MEMORARAERemember, O mostgracious Virgin Mary,that never was it knownthat anyone who fled to thy protection,implored thy help, or sought thine intercessionwas left unaided.Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,O Virgin of virgins, my mother;to thee do I come,before thee I stand,sinful and sorrowful.O Mother of the Word Incarnate,despise not my petitions,but in they mercy hear and answer me.Amen.
