Protect me Lord

My God, You are marvellous,

only through the joy of my soul can I express my Love to You.

You have made me happy when my tears of joy have expressed my spiritual emotions.

Allow me to lose my individuality in You,

to penetrate profoundly in Your Infinite Being.

Allow me to be One with You.

Lord,

Live in me always,

grow in me,

support me with Your Strength,

do not forsake me.

Take command of all my actions,

manifest Your Presence through Your servant,

who lives in You,

for You,

through You and always with You.

Protect me Lord; make me a fort,

impenetrable by sin; make me a soldier,

apostle and bearer of Your Divine Word.
