Towards Them

Thus, O my God, I beseech thee by thy tender love for us ; by the merits of thy be- ♦ ^on> I thus implore thee to enable me to fulfil all the corporal and spiritual works or mercy which thou mayest aemand of me. AFTER A TOILSOME DAY. Let me comfort the sorrowful, instruct the ignorant, relieve the poor, visit and cheer the suffering and those who are sick at heart : may I willingly forgive injuries, bear wrongs patiently, love those who hate, and do good to those who injure me. Let me not despise any one, but respect all; imitate the good, and avoid the wicked. Let me love virtue as much as I abhor vice.

O my Lord, may thy grace uphold me in sorrow, and restrain me in joy ; may it teach me to despise the fleeting interests of this life; and in all things, and above all things, may it prompt me fervently to aspire to the ever- lasting bliss of heaven, through Jesus my Lord and Saviour, who, with thee and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth for ever. Amen
