Means I Used to Achieve Success

A reflection published by The Catholic Thing outlines the spiritual practices used to work for the salvation of souls and the glory of God. The author identifies prayer as the primary method for converting sinners, helping the just persevere, and relieving souls in purgatory.

To achieve these goals, the author utilized meditations, Masses, the recitation of the breviary, and various devotions. The author also encouraged nuns, Sisters of Charity, Tertiaries, and other faithful to attend Mass, receive Holy Communion, visit the Blessed Sacrament, and pray the Way of the Cross.

The author further requested that others pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary for these three intentions through the Holy Rosary. To teach a practical method for this devotion, the author would recite the rosary with the congregation before beginning a sermon.
