Preparatory Prayer (located at the start of Part IV).

PRAYER IN HONOR OF ST. CHRISTOPHORUS

O GOD, who didst make St. Christophorus a true Christ-bearer, who
converted multitudes to the Christian faith, and who didst give him the
grace to suffer for Thy sake the most cruel torments; through the
intercession of this saint we implore Thee to protect us from sin, the
only real evil. Preserve us, also, against harmful elementary forces,
such as earthquake, lightning, fire, and flood. Amen.

INVOCATION OF ST. CHRISTOPHORUS

didst find him in Jesus Christ, the almighty God of heaven and earth,
and didst faithfully serve Him with all thy power to the end of thy
life, gaining for Him countless souls and finally shedding thy blood for

didst once bear Him on thy shoulder, so that I thereby may be
strengthened to overcome victoriously all temptations and resist all
enticements of the world, the devil, and the flesh, and that the powers
of darkness may not prevail against me. Amen.

St. Paul, and didst preach His saving name to the nations, to bring whom
to His knowledge and love thou didst not shrink from martyrdom; implore
for me a continual growth in the knowledge and love of Jesus, so that my
restless heart may experience that peace which He alone can give. Help
