this price of our salvation 
and through its power, be safeguarded 
from the evils of the present life, 
so that we may rejoice in its fruits forever in heaven. 
Through the same Christ, O Lord, Amen.

"He who desires to go on advancing 
from virtue to virtue, from grace to grace, 
should constantly meditate upon 
the passion of Jesus Christ."
