8. Fight sadness and discouragement. Christ died for you.
9. Foster joy in the struggle with child-like spirit.
10. Apostolate (go out of yourself to give a hand to a friend), practice acts of service with self-giving, and alms.
11. Using the sacramentals with devotion: nothing scares the devil more than holy water, the scapular…
