Do not omit  to  hear  Mass  daily. Those who  hear  Mass  should make a  special  application  to  their  own  souls  of  the  merits  of  the Passion of  Jesus  Christ. Mass should  be  heard  for  the  same  ends  for which it  was  instituted;  namely,  i.  To  honor  Almighty  God;  2. To thank Him  for  His  benefits;  3. To make  atonement  for  the  punishment due  to  our  sins;  4. To obtain  divine  grace.

When you being any work or study, say:

Lord! I offer Thee this work.

My God,  bless  this  food  and  me,  that  I  may  commit no  fault  in  taking  it;  and  may  all  be  for  Thy glory.

I thank  Thee,  Lord! for having  done  good  to  one who has  so  often  offended  Thee.
