DAILY EXERCISES.
Morning Prayers. — Never omit to say at least a few prayers every morning. Morning prayer is the food of the soul on which its strength for the day depends.
Holy Mass. — “ To begin well and to end better, two things,” St. Philip Neri said, “are needed — to be devout to the most holy Mother of God and to hear Mass daily when there is no lawful hindrance.”
Daily Duties. — Fac quod facis, “ Do what Thou doest” — that is, do each duty at its proper time, as if it were the only one you had to do, and the last — quasi unum et quasi ultimum.
In beginning any work, sign yourself and say, “Oh, my God, I offer Thee this work.”
Before Meals, sign yourself and say, Benedictus benedicat — “May the Blessed bless it.”
