A PRAYER

O God

In my deeds,

In my words,

In my wishes,

In my reason,

And in the fulfilling of my desires,

In my sleep,

In my dreams,

In my repose,

In my thoughts,

In my heart and soul always,

May the blessed Virgin Mary,

And the promised Branch of Glory dwell,

Oh! in my heart and soul always,

May the blessed Virgin Mary,

And the fragrant Branch of Glory dwell.
