Prayer for Grace

O my God and my all,

in Thy goodness and mercy,

grant that before I die

I may regain all the graces

which I have lost through my carelessness and folly.

Permit me to attain the degree of merit and perfection

to which Thou didst desire to lead me,

and which I failed by my unfaithfulness to reach.

Mercifully grant also that others regain the graces

which they have lost through my fault.

This I humbly beg through the merits

of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

and Immaculate Virgin Mary.

Amen.
