LET US PRAY.

LORD Jesus Christ, who hast said, "Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; grant, we beseech thee, to us thy supplicants, the gifts of thy divine love, that we may love thee with our hearts

in word and deed, and never cease from praising thee: who livest and reignest, etc.

O God, who hast rendered the most glorious name of thy only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, most worthy to be loved with the highest affection by thy faithful, and to be exceeding dreadful to evil spirits, mercifully grant that all who devoutly honour the sacred name of Jesus on earth, may receive in this life the sweetness of holy consolation, and obtain in the future the happiness of eternal joy and bliss: through the same, etc.

May the divine assistance always remain with us. Amen.

H

SALVE REGINA.

AIL! holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope, to thee do we cry, poor banished sons of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears; turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and, after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O pious, O sweet Virgin Mary!

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

THE BLESSING.

THE peace of passion, the sign of his holy cross, HE peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the virtue of

the purity and humility of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the protection of the angels, and the intercession of all the saints and elect of God, be with me and defend me, now and at the hour of my death, sweet Jesus. Amen.

How to pass the day in a Holy Manner.

I.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, be always like one who walks in the presence of God. Remember that he is present everywhere, that his eye follows you everywhere, and that he knows your most secret thoughts.

II.

Begin everything you undertake with a good intention, and keep in mind the words of the Apostle: "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you do, do all to the glory of God."1 Cor. x. 31.

AT WORK.

Before you begin your work, say, "All for thee O Lord; O my Jesus, all for thee!"

IN TEMPTATION.

When you are tempted to anger say, "O my Jesus, give me patience! Bless me, Mary, my Mother!”

If wicked thoughts come in your mind, say quickly-"Jesus and Mary help me!" Repeat the Hail Mary or some other prayer until you have banished thein.

At the Angelus.

When the bell rings for the " Angelus," at morning, noon, and evening, remember how the Son of God became man in the womb of Mary, and say as follows:

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary:
And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
Hail Mary, etc.

Behold the handmaid of the Lord:

Be done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary, etc.

And the Word was made flesh,

And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary,

etc.

POUR

PRAYER.

UR forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may, by his passion and cross, be brought to the glory of his resurrection; through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

BLE

GRACE BEFORE MEAT.

LESS us, O Lord, and these thy gifts, which of thy bounty we are about to receive; through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
