Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You
     present so that I do not forget You.  You know how
     easily I abandon You.

     Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your
     strength, that I may not fall so often.

     Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without
     You, I am without fervor.

     Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without
     You, I am in darkness.

     Stay with me Lord, to show me Your will

     Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow
     You.

     Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much,
     and always be in Your company.

     Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to
     You.

     Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I wish it
     to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.

     Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day
     is coming to a close and life passes, death, judgement,
     eternity approaches.  It is necessary to renew my
     strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for
     that, I need You.  It is getting late and death
     approaches.  I fear the darkness, the temptations, the
     dryness, the cross, the sorrows. 0h how I need You, my
     Jesus, in this night of exile!

     Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all its
     dangers, I need You.

     Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the
     breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion
     be the light which disperses the darkness, the force
     which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart.

     Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I
     want to remain united to You, if not by Communion, at
     least by grace and love.

     Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine
     consolation, because I do not merit it, but, the gift of
     Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You!

     Stay with me, Lord for it is You alone I look for.  Your
     Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit,
     because I love You and ask no other reward but to love
     You more and more.

     With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart
     while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during
     all eternity. 

Amen.
