Prayer of St. Richard of Chichester
Day by day, O dear Lord, three things I pray:
to see you more clearly,
love you more dearly,
follow you more nearly,
day by day, by day, by day.
Amen.
The Memorare
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 to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother.
To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word of Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

O God, whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that, meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Nunc Dimmitis
Now, Lord, you have kept your word:
let your servant go in peace.
With my own eyes I have seen the salvation
which you have prepared in the sight of every people:
a light to reveal you to the nations
and the glory of your people Israel.
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
