O merciful God, fill our hearts, we pray Thee, with the graces of Thy Holy Spirit, with love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

Teach us to love those who hate us, to pray for those who despitefully use us, that we may be the children of Thee our Father, who makes Thy sun to shine on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

In adversity grant us grace to be patient; in prosperity keep us humble; may we guard the door of our lips; may we lightly esteem the pleasures of this world, and thirst after heavenly things; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen.
