Pray for your relations, your pastors, for the Holy Father, for the triumph of faith, and the exaltation of the Church.
For peace upon earth.
For vocations to the priesthood and the perfection and sanctification of those who have already embraced it.
For the fervor and perseverance of Religious.
For fervid and persevering adorers among the laity.
For the spread of the eucharistic kingdom of Christ.
For the conversion of sinners, especially those in whom you are most interested, or those recommended to your prayers.
Pray that Jesus may be known, loved, and served by all men.
Conclude by offering some little flower to Our Lord, by a practical resolution, or the promise of a particular sacrifice during the day.
Then say a few vocal prayers for the intention of the Holy Father, e.g., five Our Fathers and five Hail Marys in union with the prayer which is to be recited before a crucifix: "Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus" (page 371), in order to obtain a plenary indulgence.
There are many indulgences that we can gain very easily, and we are too often forgetful of these riches that are so profitable when applied to the wants of the suffering souls. The holy souls will thus join in your thanksgiving. During the day do not forget the royal visit of Jesus, the King of kings; preserve a remembrance of the morning's grace, like a vase that has gathered up some precious perfume, like a soul that has spent one hour of the busy day in the courts of paradise.
