O Jesus, take not Thy grace and Thy Holy Spirit from me. Let not Thy loving kindness depart from me. Strengthen me in and for the labor which I am now performing. Remember the covenant which Thou madest with me in Holy Baptism. By virtue of that covenant Thou art my Father, and I am Thy child. O Father, remember Thy child, help Thy child, have mercy upon Thy child.
