Chapter IX. Considerations proper to renew our good resolutions

After having made your examination, and

: conferred with some worthy director concerning your defects, and the proper remedies for them, make use of one of the following considerations every day, by way of meditation, “employing in it the time of your mental prayer, observing always the same method with regard to the preparation and the as you did in the meditations of the first part, by placing yourself first in the presence of God, and then imploring his grace to establish you in his holy love and service.

Après avoir fait l'examen, et avoir bien conféré avec un sage directeur sur vos défauts et les remèdes à y appliquer, vous prendrez chaque jour une des considérations suivantes, pour vous en faire un sujet de méditation, y employant le temps de votre oraison, et cela toujours selon la même méthode de préparations et d'affections que je vous ai donnée dans la première partie; vous mettant, avant toutes choses, en la présence de Dieu, et implorant sa grâce pour vous bien établir dans son amour et son saint service.
