"Bless God, return thanks to him, proclaim his glory and render him thanks before all the living for all he has done for you. It is good to praise God and to exalt his Name, by making known in a worthy manner the story of God's deeds. Do not be slow in giving him thanks. It is good to hide the secrets of kings but to make known publicly the works of God. Do the works of God. Do good, and evil will not harm you. It is a good thing to accompany prayer with fasting, almsgiving and justice. It is better to do a little with honor than much with injustice. It is better to give alms than to treasure up gold. Almsgiving preserves from death; it purifies from all sin. Those people who give alms and act justly will have a long life, but sinners only harm themselves."
(Archangel Raphael speaks on Tobit: 12: 6b-10)

PRAYER
FOR A HOLY DEATH
Heavenly Father, you require that all men should give up their temporal body and die in due time. Since I do not know the hour of my death, please grant that I may pass all my days on earth in holiness, love, peace, mercy and forgiveness – that I may deserve to be in your company with a good conscience and in your friendship, Amen.
