Page 6 - SPIRITUAL EXERCISES 1830

I will not admit into my mind the slightest thought that
could distract my attention, even if there is nothing bad about it
or even if it is good in itself. I will not read nor write any letter,
nor do anything else that would take my mind elsewhere.
I will jealously guard all my faculties, doing my best to
keep my mind engaged with God. I will value self-denial and
every day I will take the Discipline for the duration of a
Miserere and a Hail Holy Queen.
To do these Spiritual Exercises really well, I will imagine
that I am about to die and that God is granting me this short
period to put my soul in order, and so I will do everything as if I
were on my deathbed, about to die, and that soon, on my
death, about to give an account to God for everything.

__________

I humbly ask you, who represent my Divine Spouse, the

merit of obedience and your holy Blessing.

Hail Jesus and Mary
