May I give you some advice for you to put into practice daily? When your heart makes you feel those low cravings, say slowly to the Immaculate Virgin: Look on me with compassion. Don't abandon me. Don't abandon me, my Mother! - And recommend this prayer to others.

Faith, joy, optimism. But not the folly of closing your eyes to reality.

Don't neglect your spiritual reading. - Reading has made many saints.

Don't you long to shout to those youths who are bustling around you: Fools! Leave those worldly things that shackle the heart - and very often degrade it - leave all that and come with us in search of Love!

Say the Holy Rosary. Blessed be that monotony of Hail Mary's which purifies the monotony of your sins!

If I love, there will be no hell for me.

For those who use their intelligence and their study as a weapon, the Rosary is most effective. Because that apparently monotonous way of beseeching Our Lady as children do their Mother, can destroy every seed of vainglory and pride.
