That Mary, Mother of the Church, may intercede for and assist the missionaries and people in the Church's missions throughout the world.
For fidelity to the vows and the spirit of Resurrection.
I thank God for the thought and for making the sacrifice of burning the rest of my tobacco, so that it may no longer tempt me, in honor of today's meditations on the Passion of the Lord... (La Trappe, 11/16/1837)
