O my God, I believe in You;
strengthen my faith.
All my hopes are in You;
secure them in Your name.
I love You with my whole heart;
teach me to love You daily more and more.
I am sorry that I have offended You;
increase my sorrow.
I adore You as my first beginning;
I aspire after You as my last end.
I give You thanks as my constant Benefactor;
I call upon You as my sovereign Protector.
