“that we may pray unceasingly� 1 Thess. 5:17
Introduction Herein is contained a compilation of Catholic prayers, quotations, and readings from religious devotional books and the writings of and about the saints. The treasury of wisdom herein is the treasury of Christ Himself for the soul. For these prayers to be of lasting value you must adhere to the one true Church founded by Christ, the Catholic Church and her doctrine as given by Christ while living a life of grace and love God in all your doings, being always aware of your own humble nature. The quotations and readings will be of aid for the mortification of the senses, purgation, understanding of the interior life, repelling of the spiritual enemies of the soul, illumination, and finishing of the spiritual journey to salvation.
Recommendations An example of devotion. . . Practice the continual remembrance of the Lord. Begin your day with the sign of the cross, invitatory, and morning prayers such as thanksgiving for the night's protection, morning offerings, and the acts of virtue. Examine your conscience and what the day will hold ahead. Pray for these intentions, then pray during the hours of the day, with such as the powerful prayers of the Most Precious Blood for the Holy Souls. Remember the hour of noon, and the hour of three o'clock. Devote every act to Jesus Christ in between the hours. Fast according to your capacity and practice temperance throughout all your acts. At midnight rise and make a devotion. During mass, pray the prayers associated and offer yourself again, full of love, faith, and hope, asking for grace. Upon the end of the day, pray for the forgotten, make an examination of conscience, an act of contrition, and pray for your and others protection through the night. Give thanks, and go to sleep, dreaming of God in grace. Amen. As you progress through these prayers, learn more and more by heart, and repeat those which you know the sense of even if you know not all the exact words. So they will become more useful to you and you become more used to God.
