can best spare from your work, and can be alone. If you have not time in the day, use them at night after your usual examination of conscience.

As you ask yourself each question, think very seriously over it, and confess at once any sin of which your conscience tells you that you have been guilty. Every day when you have finished this self-examination, say

LORD, have mercy upon me, for I have sinned against Thee. O give me true sorrow for my past sins, and grace to serve Thee henceforth more faithfully, for JESUS CHRIST's sake. AMEN.

By Thine Agony and BLOODY SWEAT; by Thy Cross and Passion: GOOD JESUS, pardon and save me!

If you have time, or are not very tired, say the following, at least on the Saturday Evening.

I do not presume to come to Thy Holy Table, O Merciful LORD, trusting in my own righteousness, but in Thy many and

great mercies; I am not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under Thy Table. But Thou art the same LORD, Whose property is always to have mercy; grant me therefore, Gracious LORD, so to eat the FLESH of Thy Dear SON, JESUS CHRIST, and to drink His BLOOD, that my sinful body may be made clean by His BODY, and my soul washed through His Most Precious BLOOD, and that I may evermore dwell in Him, and He in me. AMEN.
