O Almighty and eternal God! who didst prepare the body and soul of the glorious Mary, Mother and Virgin, that by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost she might become a worthy dwelling for thy Son; grant, that as we rejoice in her commemoration, so by her pious intercession we may be delivered both from present evils and everlasting death: through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. {37} The Angelus Domini. To be said morning, noon, and night, in memory of the adorable mystery of the Incarnation of our blessed Saviour. 1. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary: and she conceived of the Holy Ghost. Hail, Mary, &c. 2. Behold the handmaid of the Lord: May it be done unto me according to thy word. Hail, Mary, &c. 3. And the word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us. Hail, Mary, &c. Let Us Pray. Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may, by his passion and cross, be brought to the glory of his resurrection: through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. Should the duties of your state of life afford you leisure, you may, after Morning Prayers, recite the prayer peculiar to the day, which may be found amongst the "Devotions for every Day in the Week:" meditate also on the proper Reflections of the day, which may be seen amongst the "Pious Reflections for every Day in the Month." {38} Aspirations And Ejaculations Which may be secretly repeated in the heart, amidst the ordinary actions of the day. O my God, grant me the grace never to offend thee. O my God, teach me to love thee with my whole heart, and soul, and mind, and strength, in time and eternity. Too late have I known thee, O infinite goodness. Too late have I loved thee, O eternal beauty. To thee, O God! to thee alone be all honour, and glory, and praise, and adoration, for ever. Mortify in me, O Jesus, whatever displeaseth thee; and make me according to thine own heart. O blessed Jesus; give me grace to learn of thee to be meek and humble of heart, that I may be united with thee, and find rest for my soul. O my God, and my All! teach me in all things to do thy holy will. O Lord! keep me from sin, and grant me the grace of a happy death. O Fountain of all Goodness! have mercy on me. O my God, grant me the grace to perform all my works with the pure intention of pleasing thee. Let the name of the Lord be blessed and glorified for ever and ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. {39} From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise. I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall ever be in my mouth. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and let all that is within me bless his holy name. Thanks be to God for all his benefits. Praise be to thee, O Christ; blessed be thy holy name, O Jesus.
