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.
Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God
is merciful and will hear your prayer.
