Holy Father, keep me in thy name, which thy Son, Jesus Christ, hast given me, that I may know the glory of being perfectly one with thy saints in thee, even as ye are one. Guard me, and lose me not. Keep me from the evil one. Sanctify and consecrate me in the truth, thy word, that I might have his joy fulfilled in myself. May I be with him where he is, to behold his glory which thou hast given him in thy love for him before the foundation of the world. And may this love with which thou hast loved him be in me, and he in me.

Or us/we/ourselves.
