We must also fast and abstain from vices and sins and an excess of food and drink and be Catholics. (Saint, 47)
Let every creature
in heaven, on earth, in the sea and in the depths,
give praise, glory, honor and blessing
To Him Who suffered so much,
Who has given and will give in the future every good,
for He is our power and strength,
Who alone is good, Who alone is almighty,
Who alone is omnipotent, wonderful, glorious
and Who alone is holy,
worthy of praise and blessing
through endless ages.(Saint, 49).
