(Recall Presence of God.)
FIRST POINT—ACT OF THANKSGIVING.
O MY Lord and my God! I most humbly thank Thee for the great benefits of creation, redemption, etc., and for Thy mercy and patience in bearing with me in spite of my many faults and sins. I offer Thee, my dear Lord and Master, the gratitude of my poor heart for all Thy favors, general and particular; above all, for having called me to this Congregation in order to save me in it.
SECOND POINT—PETITION FOR LIGHT.
O MY God, give me light to know my sins and see their real deformity, and to realize what a bad and bitter thing it is to stray from Thee. Grant me grace to see clearly my miseries, and to detest them with all my heart.
THIRD POINT—EXAMINATION.
O MY dear Lord, how far have I gone astray from the path of perfection, although my Saviour Jesus hath marked it out for me by footprints stained with blood!
