En ego, o bone et dulcissime Iesu
Here, O good and gentle Jesus, I kneel before you, and with all the fervor of my soul I pray that you engrave within my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope, and love, true repentance for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment. While I see and I ponder your five wounds with great affection and sorrow in my soul, I have before my eyes those words of yours that David prophesied about you: “They have pierced my hands and feet;
I can count all my bones.” (Ps 22, 17)
Amen.

Protect me in the midst of danger. Comfort me in my afflictions.
Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen

May the hand of God protect me, the way of God lie before me, the shield of God defend me, the host of God save me.
May Christ shield me today.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit, Christ when I stand, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. Amen.
