[Acknowledgement: A Newman Prayer Book (Vincent F. Blehl, S.J., 1990), p. iv]Lord, I thank Thee that Thou hast brought me to the beginning of this day. Defend me in the same by Thy mighty power, and grant as I now rise after sleep, fresh and rejoicing, so my body after the sleep of death may rise spiritualized and blessed to dwell with Thee forever.
Keep me from the perils and dangers of this day; let me fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger, but let all my doings be ordered by Thy governance, to do always what is righteous in Thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Savior.The Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman,
