  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  Lord, teach me to be generous.

  Teach me to serve you as you deserve;

  To labor and not to ask for reward,

  Save that of knowing that I do your will.

  Lord Jesus,
  In every age you have called young men to serve you as priests and religious in your Church. We humbly ask you to do the same here and now at Strake Jesuit.

  Give them the confidence that you will care for them and the courage to respond to your call. Amen.

• Day 7: Memorare

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
  that never was it known
  that anyone who fled to thy protection,
  implored thy help,
  or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

  Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
  O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
  to thee do I come,
  before thee I stand,
  sinful and sorrowful.
  O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
  despise not my petitions,
  but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

• Day 8: Prayer of Saint Francis

  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

  Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
  where there is hatred, let me sow love;
  where there is injury, pardon;
  where there is doubt, faith;
  where there is despair, hope;
  where there is darkness, light;
  where there is sadness, joy.

  O divine Master,
  grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
  to be understood as to understand,
  to be loved as to love.
  For it is in giving that we receive,
  it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
  and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

  and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
  by the power of God, cast into hell
  Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
