YEAR 1825 - JANUARY 6
_____

Thursday

I imagined that others would say that I am clever. I was
gratified when two priests saw me with a very virtuous young
girl. I was anxious to explain the reason for turning up late for
the Sodality meeting, though no-one asked me to do so. I was
gratified to assist at the Catechism session. I was pleased with
myself when I addressed a lady very politely. 5 .

Friday 7

I imagined that a person spoke well of me. I expressed
a desire for a good thing in order to be praised for it. I thought
of myself as a fairly humble person. I considered myself to be
virtuous.

Saturday 8

I was sorry that a person came to know of a mistake I
made. I considered myself to be virtuous because my
Confessor assigned me many spiritual Communions. I
imagined that some persons had spoken well of me. 3.
