A historical prayer of praise and devotion from the 1861 English edition of Preces Gertrudianae.

Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.

I COMMEND this my faith to thine omnipotence, O eternal Father, beseeching thee that thou wouldest so strengthen me therein with thy divine strength, that I may never depart from it or waver in it.

I commend it to thine unsearchable wisdom, O only-begotten Son, beseeching thee that thou wouldest so enlighten me with the light of thy knowledge, that I may never be led astray by the spirit of error.

I commend it likewise to thy most compassionate goodness, O Holy Ghost the Comforter, beseeching thee that this my faith may so work in me by charity, that at the hour of my death it may be found perfect and entire.
