Almighty God, I again join my voice with my Church and pray: Let me cast aside all the slothfulness of sleep and rouse up my soul to sing to Christ, born of the spotless Virgin: “All you works of the Lord, bless the Lord”. May the practice of the virtues be adequate in the treasury of my heart, that with an enlightened face, I may sing to the infant Christ: “All you works of the Lord, bless the Lord! Let me offer to You, O my merciful Lord, good works in thanksgiving for the great love You have shown me and help me to truly offer praise to You for becoming Incarnate for the sake of my salvation. I ask this of You Who I call Father, Son and Holy Spirit not only now but forever and ever. Amen
