Prayer (§343)

O GLORIOUS Patriarch St Ignatius, we humbly beseech thee to obtain for us from GOD freedom, above all things, from sin, the greatest of evils, and then escape from the deadly disease of cholera, one of those terrible scourges with which the LORD punishes the sins of the people. May thy example inflame our hearts with an efficacious desire to labour continually for the greater glory of GOD and the good of our neighbour; and obtain from the loving Heart of JESUS, our LORD, the crown of all other graces, the gift of final perseverance, and eternal beatitude.
