ST. FRANCIS DE SALES' SPIRITUAL-BOUQUET PRAYER / by Joe Castorino

Based on the words and guidelines of St. Francis de Sales

Dearest Jesus,

King of Divine Mercy,

By the power of the Holy Spirit,

I resolve today to ________,

For the glory of God the Father.

Dearest Heavenly Father,

Through the Holy Spirit

I humbly give you thanks for

The affections and resolutions

You have given me today

In my meditation,

As well as for your great

Goodness and divine mercy.

Eternal Father, I offer to you

The body and blood,

Soul and divinity,

Of your dearly beloved Son,

Our Lord Jesus Christ,

In atonement for our sins,

And those of the whole world.

I wholeheartedly implore you

To share with me the abundant

Graces and virtues

Of your most holy Son,

And to bless my affections and resolutions,

So that I may faithfully fulfill them.

Through the intercession of

Our Lady, the angels,

And the saints,

I pray for the Church,

And for my pastor,

For my relatives and my friends,

And everyone else in the world,

That you, dearest God,

May bountifully bless them

With your magnificent mercy!

Amen.
