              by  all  the  love  of  thy  sweetest  Heart  that  thou
              wouldst  vouchsafe  to  offer  for  me  all  that
       perfection  wherewith  thou  didst  stand  arrayed  in  the
       presence  of  God  the  Father  when  thou  didst  ascend  on
       high to enter into thy glory; and through thy sinless and
       unspotted manhood to render my polluted soul pure and
       free  from  every  sin,  and  through  thy  most  glorious
       Divinity  to  endow  and  adorn  it  with  every  virtue,  and
       through the virtue of that love, which has forever united
       thy supreme Divinity to thine immaculate Humanity, to
       furnish it befittingly with thy best gifts. Amen.
