O great and magnificent God, my Lord Jesus Christ, I implore thee to enlighten me and to dispel the darkness of my soul.  Give me a strong faith, firm hope, perfect charity.  And grant to me, O Lord, to know thee well enough to be able to act in all things according to thy light and in keeping with thy holy will.
Amen.
