All the Saints have employed and recommended "Divine Reading" as a powerful means of sanctification. Saint Francis de Sales calls spiritual reading "a food for the soul" or "an oil that must be poured into the lamp of divine love so that it will never go out."

For reading to be fruitful, we must pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten our minds and dispose our hearts to put into practice the enlightenment received by this means.

“There will be prodigious phenomena in the sun, the moon and the stars. The sun will darken, the moon will no longer give its brightness, the stars will fall from the sky, and the virtues of the heavens will be shaken. “All over the world the nations will be dismayed at the confused sound of the sea and the waves, and men will dry up in fear, waiting for the things that will happen to the whole universe. “Then shall appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man. All the tribes of the earth will cry out in pain, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and majesty. “And He will send His angels with a trumpet with a loud voice, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from every end of the horizon. “When these things begin to take place, lift up your heads and see, for your deliverance is near.” Then He compared it to them: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees; when their branches grow tender and the leaves are born and the fruits appear, it is a sign that summer is near. So when you see all these things, know that the Kingdom of God is near, that it is at the door. “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away until all these things come to pass. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”

(Gospel: St. Matthew 24, 29-35; St. Luke 21, 25-28)

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
