 After Meals, say, Benedictus benedicatur — “ May the Blessed be blessed."

''For a longer Grace see page 12. ''

Use the following ejaculations as occasion requires: —

In temptation — Lord save me, or I perish; Isai. xxxviii. 14; Jesu, Mary, Joseph.

At going forth — Incline unto my aid, O God: O Lord, make haste to help me; Ps. lxxx. 2.

On custody of sight — Turn away mine eyes, lest they behold vanity; Ps. cxviii. 7.

In conversation — Set, O Lord, a guard to my mouth, and a watch about my lips; Ps. cxl. 3.

After falling into any light fault — Humbly renew your purpose and begin again. Depression after a fault comes from wounded pride, and is often more sinful than the fault itself.

After a graver sin — Make an Act of Contrition, and go to confession as soon as possible.

To prevent relapses — Avoid the dangerous occasion. Fuge cito, fuge procul, fuge semper; hoc fac et vives — “ Fly quickly, fly far, fly always. Do this, and thou shalt live." —
