1. DAILY  Conduct. — Have a  fixed  hour  for  rising in the  morning;  bless  yourself  with  holy  water, and as  soon  as  possible  recite  devoutly  your  morning prayers. During the  day  make  at  least  a  short  meditation or a  spiritual  reading. It is  commendable  to  read  daily from the  Lives  of  the  Saints. Hear Mass;  make  a  visit  to the  Most  Blessed  Sacrament  and  to  Mary,  the  Mother  of Jesus. If you  can  not  go  to  church,  make  your  visit  and adoration at  home,  turning  toward  the  nearest  tabernacle and receiving  holy  communion  spiritually. Recite the Angelus; say  the  beads. In the  evening,  examine  your conscience and  recite  your  evening  prayers.

2. Confession  and  Communion. — Receive  the  holy sacraments frequently. Go as  often  as  you  can  to  holy communion, with  the  advice  of  your  confessor;  consult  him and submit  to  his  direction  in  all  affairs  of  importance. When you  commit  any  sin,  make  an  act  of  contrition  immediately and  resolve  to  amend;  if  it  is  a  mortal  sin,  confess it  as  soon  as  possible.

3. Occasions  of  Sin. — Avoid  idleness,  bad  companions, low theaters  and  public  balls,  round  dances,  immoral books, sensational  newspapers,  salacious  literature,  foolish novels and  romances,  games  of  chance,  and  every  occasion of sin. In temptations,  bless  yourself,  invoke  the  most holy names  of  Jesus  and  Mary,  and  think  of  death. "He that loveth  danger  shall  perish  in  it."

4. Sundays. — "Remember  that  thou  keep  holy  the Sabbath  day." Be not  satisfied  with  hearing  a  Low  Mass on Sundays. Hear sermons  as  often  as  possible,  and  listen attentively to  the  word  of  God. No matter  how  poor  an orator  a  priest  may  be,  no  matter  how  plain  his  language  or how  unattractive  his  delivery,  remember  that  he  is  the representative of  Christ,  and  that  you  can  always  find  in every  sermon  sufficient  matter  for  reflection  and  application to  your  own  life  and  circumstances.
