Pie Jesu or Merciful Jesus

Grant me Thy grace most merciful Jesus, that it may be with me and work with me and persevere with me even to the end.

       Grant that I may always desire and will that which is to Thee most acceptable and most dear.

       Let Thy will be mine, and let my will ever follow Thine and agree perfectly with it.

       Let my willing and not-willing be all one with Thine, and let me not be able to will or not will anything else but what Thou willest or willest not.  Amen. 

(Imitation of Christ, bk. 3, ch. 15, v. 3).
