After prayer for half-an-hour, I shall work till about 22. In this
last hour I keep strict silence, after which I shall make the
other ten genuflections and then go for a visit to the Blessed
Sacrament, and to the altar of Mary. Back home, I shall do
what is required by obedience till after supper.
After the clearing up, I shall do spiritual reading for a quarter of
an hour, followed by Holy Rosary, then retire to my bedroom.
First thing to do there is to pay a visit to the image of Mary,
then recite the usual prayers, commend myself to Jesus and
Mary and rest peace fully.
Before lying down in bed, however, I shall note defects of
pride, and, in bed, before falling asleep, I shall read some
book of devotion for a ¼ of an hour.
Every hour I shall make 6 spiritual communions, kiss the
Crucifix once, the picture of Mary and the Sacred Heart of
Jesus, and utter 6 ejaculations.

On Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays I shall do the Way of
the Cross either in Church after lunch, if I can, or in the
evening in the room. Three times every hour I shall offer my
whole self to God most generously.
