IV. Three impulsive causes: God's will, our need, and the examples of Christ and the saints. The end: God's glory, union and communion with God, increase of faith.

What we ask for is personal (for ourselves and others) or real (spiritual and temporal goods). Ask in Christ's name; God alone is to be religiously adored.

Latin

IV. Causae impulsivae tres: voluntas Dei, necessitas nostra, exempla Christi sanctorumque. Finis: gloria Dei, unio et communio cum Deo, incrementum fidei. Objectum petitionum personale (pro nobis et aliis) aut reale (bona spiritualia et temporalia). Petendum in nomine Christi; solus Deus religiose adorandus.
