Intention Before Sleep (Taught to Saint Gertrude by our Lord)
Lord Jesus Christ,
I accept this sleep
in the spirit of love
with which Thou didst sanctify it
when Thou didst deign to sleep
in Thy most sacred humanity,
to the glory of God the Father,
and for the salvation of all mankind;
beseeching that, in union with Thee,
it may tend to increase
in grace and glory
of all Thine Elect in heaven,
on earth, and in purgatory.
Amen.
