"The conclusion of our meditation consists of <strong>the</strong>&<br />

three acts: (I) thanksgiving to God fq <strong>the</strong> light He<br />

imparted to us; (2) purposing to fulfil our good msolutions<br />

at once; and (3) beseeching <strong>the</strong> eternal Fa<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

for <strong>the</strong> love of Jesus and Mary, to grant us <strong>the</strong> grace and<br />

strength to put <strong>the</strong>m into practice. Before finishing<br />

our meditation let us never omit to recommend to God<br />

<strong>the</strong> souls in purgatory and poor sinners. In concluding<br />

our mental prayer let us, after <strong>the</strong> advice of St.<br />

Francis of Sales, pick out a thought or an affection from<br />

our mental prayer, in order to reflect on it or repeat it<br />

from time to time during <strong>the</strong> day."<br />

Preparatory <strong>Prayer</strong><br />

ACT OF THE DIVINE PRESENCE<br />

Y GOD, I firmly believe that Thou art everywhere<br />

present and seest all things. Thou seest my<br />

nothingness, my inconstancy, my sinfulness. Thou<br />

seest me in all my actions; Thou seest me in this my<br />

meditation. I bow down before Thee, and worship<br />

Thy divine majesty with my whole being. Cleanse<br />

my heart from all vain, wicked, and distracting<br />

thoughts. Enlighten my understanding, and inflame<br />

my will, that I may pray with reverence, attention, and<br />

devotion.<br />
