Thou of all consolers best, Visiting the troubled breast, Dost refreshing peace bestow.<\/p>\n
The gift of piety begets in our hearts a filial affection for God as our loving Father. It inspires us to love and respect for His sake persons and things consecrated to Him, as well as those who are vested with His authority, His Blessed Mother and the Saints, the Church and its visible Head, our parents and superiors, our country and its rulers. He who is filled with the gift of Piety finds the practice of his religion, not a burdensome duty, but a delightful service. WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS NO LABOUR.<\/p>\n
COME, O BLESSED SPIRIT OF PIETY, POSSES MY HEART. ENKINDLE THEREIN SUCH A LOVE FOR GOD, THAT I MAY FIND SATISFACTION ONLY IN HIS SERVICE, AND FOR HIS SAKE LOVINGLY SUBMIT TO ALL LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY. AMEN.<\/p>\n
Our Father and Hail Mary ONCE.
