PRAYER BEFORE MEDITATION

My God, I firmly believe that Thou art everywhere present and seest all things...cleanse my heart from all vain, wicked, and distracting thoughts. Enlighten my understanding, and inflame my will, that I may pray with reverence, attention, and devotion.

QUOTE


I should be a happy man if I could but get a wife as handsome and good as she is.

The Shepherd of Hermas.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER

RESOLUTION

Based on this reflection, I resolve to avoid: Lust

RESOLUTION PRAYER

My God, I offer Thee these resolutions; unless Thou deignest to bless them, I can not be faithful to them.
