O Jesus, Good Shepherd, most loving Shepherd, behold the wounds on my soul.

Your living and efficacious eyes can see all. You can see the division of my spirit and soul. You can see my every sin, and the immediate dangers that I must fear, and the ones to come. You can see it all, O Lord; it is my profound desire that You see it all.

As You examine my heart, know that there is nothing that I would hide from You. Look upon me, O Holy Jesus, my Redeemer, see that I only yearn for Your mercy.

Like a good physician, You seek to heal my wounds; like an understanding teacher, you help me correct my faults; like an indulgent Father, you forgive me for my wrongdoings.

O Jesus, Fountain of Pity, hear my prayer: on this day, I entrust to Your Divine Mercy my entire being. Please, O Lord, By Your most Holy Name, and through the mysteries of Your sacred Humanity, wash me from sin and heal the languors of my soul.

By Your grace give me the strength to squash the vices and passions assaulting my soul, habits I formed through my negligence and weaknesses.

May Your Spirit of Charity and Love descend into my heart, and cleanse my being of any defilement of the flesh, and pour into me faith, hope, charity, contrition and tenderness.

May Your Spirit allow me to work and watch with fervor and discretion. May He bring me the will to love you, praise you, pray to you, to always think and act according to Your will. May the Holy Spirit provide me with the perseverance to accomplish my purpose until my life’s end.

Amen.
