488. Prayer to St Paul

We beseech thee, O great Apostle, to enlighten the minds of all these per- verse writers, that at length they may cease from injuring souls by their wicked doctrines and per- fidious suggestions; move their hearts to renounce the evil which they do to the chosen sheep of Curist’s fold; obtain for us the grace that, being always obedient to the voice of the supreme Pastor, we may never give ourselves up to the reading of evil books, but may, on the contrary, seek to read, and, as far as possible, diffuse, such works as may by their wholesome influence help all to promote the greater glory of Gop, the exaltation of the Church, and the salvation of souls. Amen
