The Guardian wishes you, therefore, to pray, and to
supplicate the Almighty that He may give you a fuller measure of His grace;
that through it your spiritual energies may be quickened and that you may
become more imbued with that spirit which must needs animate, sustain and
strengthen every sincere and true follower of the Faith.
