count as dross the praise and even the esteem of men, obtain for
me also this fair virtue by thy prayers. Thou knowest how proud I
am in my thoughts, how contemptuous in my words, how ambitious
in my works. Ask for me, then, humility of heart, and that my soul
may be divested of all pride, and that in its place may dwell, deep-
seated, that low esteem which thou hadst of thyself, deeming thyself
the worst of all men, and for that reason rejoicing when thou didst
suffer contempt, and seeking the occasions of it. Ah ! great saint,
obtain for me a truly humble heart and a thorough knowledge of my
own nothingness ; that I may rejoice when I am despised ; that I
may not be inflamed with resentment when others are preferred
before me ; that I may never be proud when praised ; hut ever seek

many long, painful infirmities, thou didst ever ir all with wondrous
tranquillity of heart and soul : obtain for me, too, by thy prayers,
dear Saint, a rit of true courage in all the trials of this life. IS, how
much I stand in need of patience ! I shrink m every little trouble ; I
sicken under every light iction ; I fire up at and resent every trifling
condiction, nor ever learn that through the thorny :h of tribulation
lies the road to paradise. Yet s was the road our divine master,
Jesus, deigned to ad ; this, too, was trod by thee, O dear saint ! tain

most Holy Spiit when into thy heart he poured such floods of heaveiy
charity, that, to give them place within thy breat through vehemence
of love, two of thy ribs w« displaced: then, beholding thy heart and
mine, I ai sore confounded. I see thy heart all burning wi love for
God ; mine, all frozen, wrapt up in creaturi I see thine inflamed with
a fire from heaven, whoi br/ii fancy was so diffused throughout thy
body, tH

of fire ; while mine is ftiU of earthly love. I love the world, which
allures me and can never make me happy. I love the fleshy which
solicits my affections, but can never render me immortal ; I love
riches, which I can enjoy but for a moment. O ! when shall I ever
learn of :hee to love naught else save God, the incomprehenible and
only good ? Make it thy care, then, blessed dvocate, by thy
intercession, that I begin at least o-day: obtain for me an efficacious
love, made 'nown by works ; a pure love, making me love God lost

might hinder my union ith God in life, that so I may become one
with him frever after death. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the
Father, FOR THURSDAY. Prayer to obtain the love of our neighbor.

thou didst triumph over thy persecutors. Yes, blessed saint, obtain

many of thy clients; that so we may all some day come to praise our

temporal goods. Great saint, who didst prefer a poor and austere life
to the comforts of home ; who, while yet a child didst despise honor
and glory : obtain for me grac< ever to keep my heart detached
from the passing goods of this life. O thou, whose desire it ever waj
to become so poor as to be reduced to beg thy bread without
finding a charitable hand to offer thee i crumb wherewith to support
life : ask for me of Goc a love of poverty so great that I may turn all
mi thoughts to goods which never fail. Thou whc wouldst rather live
in humble guise than be exaltec to the highest honors of holy
Church, intercede foi me, that I go not in search of honors, but
content myself ever with that condition in which God has placed me.

; but thoUj who didst ever inculcate that grand maxim, *^And then?

that these words be ever deep impressed upon my soul; that,
despising the nothingness of earth, God alone may reign, the so\e

Mary, Glory be to tVic FatKer.

perseverance in good works. S- Philip, my holy advocate, who, ever
constant in good works and full of merit, didst receive of God most
high the crown of glory in reward of all thy labors : obtain for me
grace never to weary in God's holy service. Thou who didst ever
recompense so well those who loved thee by obtaining for them the
gift of perseverance in good, obtain, then, this gift for me; fight thou
for me, dear father, at the last moment of my life, and obtain for me
the grace to depart this life strengthened with the holy sacraments.
Meanwhile be thou, great saint, my intercessor, that, through thy
prayers, I may do penance for my sins, and bitterly deplore them all
my days. O thou, v/ho from on high beholdest all my miseries, and
the bonds which yet bind me to my sins and to this earth: pray that
I may be freed from them, and that with fixed purpose I may be all
for God. Obtain for me an eager desire to co-operate in the work of
my own salvation, and unbroken constancy in the good which I have
begun ; that so, by thy intercession, I may deserve to be forever in
thy company in an eternity of bliss. Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be
