(Death, Heaven, Purgatory, Hell)
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults

|
On my knees
before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself, soul and body
to You, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Your purity, the
unerring keenness of Your justice, and the might of Your love. You are the
Strength and Light of my soul. In You I live and move and am. I desire never to
grieve You by unfaithfulness to grace and I pray with all my heart to be kept
from the smallest sin against You. Mercifully guard my every thought and grant
that I may always watch for Your light, and listen to Your voice and follow Your
gracious inspirations. I cling to You and give myself to You and ask You by Your
compassion to watch over me in my weakness. Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus
and looking at His Five Wounds and trusting in His Precious Blood and adoring
His opened Side and stricken Heart I implore You, Adorable Spirit, Helper of my
infirmity, so to keep me in Your grace that I may never sin against You. Give me
grace O Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son to say to You always and
everywhere "Speak Lord for Your servant is Listening."
