ASSIST faithfully at all the exercises of the retreat. Perform them with attention, and with a sincere desire to profit by them.
Observe as strict a silence in going to and returning from the church as circumstances will permit, endeavoring to keep your thoughts fixed on some pious subject.
Perform daily some act of charity or mortification.
Withdraw as much as possible, from secular business.
Implore frequently the light and grace of the Holy Ghost.
Make a review of your conscience since the last retreat, and, if necessary, a general confession.
Consult your director in regard to all matters that disturb your mind, or require his advice.
Often say to yourself: This retreat is a signal favor of heaven. How will I wish, at the hour of death, to have performed it!
