Page 13 - RESOLUTIONS

2. Holy prayer will be my ceaseless nourishment. In it I
will seek nothing except the will of God; but on my part I will
remove every obstacle to any grace that God wishes to grant
me. I will especially arm myself against my pride and self-love:
I will strive to weaken them, nor will I miss any opportunity to
do so, not even once.

3. My dear Spouse, I consecrate myself to the Cross.
From this moment I accept whatever you want to give me: or
rather, I beg you to give me a noble and generous heart and
then make me suffer as much as you want, for I am asking you
for it, I crave for it, though I know I am not worthy.

4. I will do whatever I can for the youth. I promise you
that I will shake off my laziness; I will not spare myself any
trouble. Help me, I beg of you.

Lord, I want to have done with the world and with myself;
I am no longer the owner of anything except the will to love
you. But I pray you, do not leave me to my own resources,
otherwise I will betray you. My dear Mummy, remember me.
Beloved St Aloysius, pray for me.
