From:

Appendix 1: Devotions

Translated by Robert E. Smith

July 11, 1994

My Heavenly Father, I thank You, through Jesus Christ, Your

beloved Son, that You kept me safe from all evil and danger last

night. Save me, I pray, today as well, from every evil and sin, so

that all I do and the way that I live will please you. I put

myself in your care, body and soul and all that I have. Let Your

holy Angels be with me, so that the evil enemy will not gain power

over me. Amen.
