Extracts from the Dux Spiritualis by the Venerable Louis de Ponte SJ
The first and most important is that when God Our Lord, by a special inspiration and degree of fervour, moves us to pray, we do not neglect this precious occasion, but sedulously endeavour to profit by it, according to Ecclesiasticus [xiv, 14];
defraud not thyself of the good day, and let not a good gift overpass thee
when God offers it: persevering in prayer as long as the heavenly visitation lasts.
For it is a notable gift of prayer and an indication that it is to be continued and lasting; the benefit we receive from one such day will help us on throughout the rest of our life.
Page 69. Divine Spirit, all whose works are perfect,
Assist my weakness lest through negligence
I lose the gits which Thy Love offers me.
