What faults against charity? Humility? Industry? Patience? Punctuality? Silence? etc.
FOURTH POINT — ACT OF SORROW.
O MY dear Lord, through Thy infinite mercy pardon me my many sins and faults. I am heartily sorry for them, because by them I have grieved and wounded Thy Sacred Heart and rendered myself so unworthy of Thy love. I am sorry from my heart for the ungrateful return I have made Thee for all Thy goodness to me. Forgive me, dear Lord, pierce my heart with true sorrow. I love Thee above all things.
FIFTH POINT — PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT.
MY Lord and my God, I now firmly resolve with Thy help to correct my faults — to overcome specially that one, N.N., which I am determined not to commit again. Confirm this my resolution by the merits of Thy bitter Passion and death, which I now offer in satisfaction for my sins. My dear Jesus! I unite my poor heart with Thine all wounded and torn. May Thy Heart be a hiding-place in which I may dwell securely. My heart is ready, O my God! my heart is ready to make atonement for my sins, to adopt the means of correcting my faults, and of acquiring the perfection of my holy state.
N.B. — Conclude with Pater and Ave. If time permit, recite Acts of Faith, Hope, and Charity, also "Suscipe" and a few indulgenced aspirations.

I OFFER Thee, O my God! the Mass and communion of to-morrow, to the honor and glory of Thy most holy name, in commemoration of Thy sacred Passion, in thanksgiving for all Thy benefits, in satisfaction
