By that heroic hope given to you by Jesus Christ on earth, by the glorious fruits that virtue gave to your Apostleship, and by the great reward stored for you in heaven, obtain for us all a christian, firm and generous hope for grace to observe God's law and merit eternal salvation ; let that hope en- courage us and make us always faith- fully correspond to grace and obtain possession of the eternal inheritance in lieaven.

That spirit is a spirit of love and charity ; the spirit of love and charity animated unceas- singly your Apostolic actions. By th<* spirit you sanctified the whole world and Rome in particular.

May that cliarity, through your intercession, in- ilame all liearts ; may these days, de voted to the remembrance of your di- vine charity, pass for us in the continu- nl exercise of that virtue ; may the spirit of love for »]esus Christ animate the days we have yet to spend on earth and may our last act here below bean •i act of perfecl charily, closing our mor-. 1 i tal period and bi^jiiniiijig those immor- tal days when we shall be able, with > ou, to love, bless, and Ihank the Fa- ther, the Son and the Holy Ghost for ever and ever.
