    Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you.... Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.

    You feel so tired inside,
    Your thoughts begin to shrivel up
    Like leaves all brown and dried!
