In order to avoid irreverence & imperfections I exhort you in the Lord to:
▪︎Enter the church in silence with great respect.
▪︎Holy water. make the sign of the cross slowly.
▪︎Genuflect devoutly to Jesus.
▪︎At your pace, kneel down & render to Jesus.
Confide to him all your needs & those of others.
▪︎Speak to Him with filial abandonment.
▪︎Be very composed when standing up, kneeling down, & sitting.
▪︎Carry out every religious act with the greatest devotion.
▪︎Be modest in your glance.
▪︎Don't turn you head.
▪︎Don't laugh.
▪︎Don't SPEAK to anyone, except for strict necessity.
▪︎Say words distinctly, observe pauses, never hurry.
▪︎Behave in such a way that all are edified by you.
▪︎Ask Jesus for His blessing & forgiveness.
▪︎Leave the church recollected and calm.
