He who always acts under obedience may be assured that he will not have to give an account of his actions to God.

In sickness we ought to ask God to give us patience, because it often happens, that when a man gets well, he not only does not do the good he proposed to do when he was sick, but he multiplies his sins and his ingratitude.

"If a man finds it very hard to forgive injuries, let him look at a Crucifix, and think that Christ shed all His Blood for him, and not only forgave His enemies, but even prayed His Heavenly Father to forgive them also. Let him remember that when he says the Pater Noster, every day, instead of asking pardon for his sins, he is calling down vengeance on himself."

He who is unable to spend a long time together in prayer, should often lift up his mind to God by short prayers.

He who always acts under obedience may be assured that he will not have to give an account of his actions to God.

We must not trust in ourselves, but take the advice of our spiritual father, and recommend ourselves to everybodys prayers.

Let us pray God, if He gives us any virtue or any gift, to keep it hidden even from ourselves, that we may preserve our humility, and not take occasion of pride because of it.
