Consider yourself, what you really are: a nothing . . . the epitome of feebleness, a fountain of perversity without limit or bounds, capable of converting good to evil, of abandoning good for evil, of ascribing goodness to yourself and justifying yourself in evil, and for the love of the same evil, despising the Supreme Good.
Never be pleased with yourself.
Do not complain about offenses perpetrated against you.
Forgive everyone with Christian charity
Always groan as a poor wretch before your God.
Never marvel at your weakness, but recognize yourself for what you are; blush over your inconstancy and faithlessness to God, and confide in him, tranquilly abandoning yourself to the arms of the heavenly Father like a babe in the arms of his mother.
Never exult in any way in any virtues, but ascribe everything to God, and give him all the glory and honor.
