O God,
author of life
and source of goodness,
I come to you and humbly implore
your divine assistance.
I sincerely promise to decide and do things
   not on the basis of what i want
   nor of what others desire.
   not solely for my benefit
   nor my own advantage,
   not for profit nor prestige,
   but for the common good,
   according to your holy will.
Forgive me Lord,
for my rash judgments,
my selfish interest.
Enlighten me with your truth
that I may listen to my conscience.
Grant me the grace that I may follow
your commandments


I come on bended knees,
my loving saviour and redeemer,
to offer my penitent self...
turn me into an instrument of creation;
keep me from being an agent
of destruction;
show me how i can serve
my brothers and sisters;
let me not abandon them
in their hour of need;
let me share my gifts,
my talents and my life.

Thank you, O God my Father,
for creating me,
for giving me a chance to live.

O my Creator, I resolve
to respect and protect life.
I have recieved your gift of life
your gift of love,
I pray that I may never cease to cherish these
Amen.
