Our Souls by the Infusion of Thy Sacred Gifts

TUESDAY.

We ought to have >uch profound sentiments of re- spect. gratitude, love, ana confidence, towards our Guardian Angels, as the dignity of their nature, their tender care of us, and the solicitude they conceive for our welfare, require. Let us then incessantly invoke their assistance ; let us consult them in all our under- takings ; let us frequently beseech them to procure the joint intercession of the heavenly host, their com- panions in glory, in our behalf ; but, above all, let us be particularly docile to their holy inspirations. 3y DEVOTIONS FOR EVERY a ^raipr hi irar teton Ingri.

O holy angel, whom God, by the effect of his goodness and the tender regard for my welfare, hath charged with the care of my conduct ; who doth assist me in all my wants, and comfort me in all my afflictions ; who supporteth me when I am discouraged, and continually obtaineth for me new favours; I return thee profound thanks, and conjure thee, most amiable protector ! to continue thy charitable care and defence of me against the malignant attacks of all my enemies. Keep me at a distance from all occasions of sin. Obtain for me the grace of hearkening attentively to thy holy inspirations, and of faithfully reducing them to practice. Protect me in all the temptations and trials of this life, but more especially at the hour of my death ; and do not quit me till thou hast con- ducted me into the presence of my Creator, in tiie mansions of everlasting happiness. Amen
