At Eight O'clock.
O dearest Lord Jesus, Thou, who already on the eighth day of Thy sojourn here on earth didst begin to endure pain for me and to shed Thy blood, grant unto me a disposition willing to endure pain in patience and to Thy glory and gladden me with the hope that in the waters of great tribulation Thou wilt safely keep my soul, even as Thou didst the eight souls in the ark of Noah. Let me be among the eight groups Thou didst pronounce blessed. Grant me grace to be poor in spirit, patient in tribulation, meek toward mine enemies to hunger and thirst after righteousness, to be charitable towards needy Christians, pure of heart, peaceable towards my neighbors, and steadfast in persecution. May I in this school of patience advance through all grades, finally to be translated to the blessed school of everlasting life, where I shall forever love and praise Thee together with the Father and Holy Ghost! Amen.
