SECOND DAY. — FRUITS OF PEACE AND PATIENCE.
LET us prostrate ourselves before the majesty of the Most Holy Trinity, and, uniting our dispositions with those of our Blessed Lady and the holy Apostles in the upper room at Jerusalem, let us say one Our Father and one Hail Mary, to obtain, by the merits of Jesus ascended, the fruits of the Holy Ghost — peace and patience. Our Father, Hail Mary.
O sweetest and most dear Mother Mary, behold us at thy feet, and having kissed them a thousand times with the lips of our hearts, we humbly implore of thee a favour, more needful for us than all else in the world beside. Since thou art the Spouse of the Holy Ghost, the Dispenser of his treasures, and his sweet Stewardess; since thou hast been enriched beyond all other creatures with his heavenly gifts, obtain for us, as thou didst obtain it for the Apostles, his coming into our hearts; and for this end obtain for us the grace to imitate, so far as in us lies, the examples of thy humility, thy purity, and thy charity. Amen.
Come, O Holy Ghost, etc.
V. and R. Send forth thy Spirit, etc.
O God, to whom every heart is open and every will speaketh, and from whom no secrets are hid, cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the infusion of the Holy Ghost, that we may perfectly love thee and worthily praise thee; through our Lord Jesus Christ. In the unity of the same. Amen.
May the blessing, etc.
