Act of Hope (Authorized for use in Ireland)

O my God!

Who hast graciously promised every blessing,

even heaven itself,

through Jesus Christ,

to those who keep Thy commandments:

relying on Thine infinite power,

goodness, and mercy, and on Thy sacred promises,

to which Thou art always faithful,

I confidently hope to obtain pardon of all my sins;

grace to serve Thee faithfully in this life,

by doing the good works Thou hast commanded,

and which, with Thine assistance,

I purpose to perform;

and eternal happiness in the next;

through my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen.
