throughout its sessions, unite in earnest sup.

Saints; and eXhort them to approach the
sacraments during this time, and in their
public and private devotions most earnestly
to recommend this matter to God.
"And may the peace of God, which sur
passelh all understanding, keep our hearts
and minds in Jesus Christ-Amen."
