Sunday 9
I felt sure that a person would think highly of me
because I spoke to her in a subdued voice. I was praised just
a little, but it came several times in mind. I told a person
something from which it would become clear why I was late for
the Sodality meeting, and I stayed at the back not to appear
negligent before everyone. I had again a thought of writing my
own life-story. I did not carry out what my Confessor told me
with regard to humility, though a few opportunities to do so
came my way. 5.
Monday 10
I found it hard to say a few words that partly showed my
pride. A word of praise given me came back to mind. I said
that a distinguished person had come to visit me, in order to
impress others about myself. 3.
Tuesday 11
I failed to avail myself of a few opportunities to do what I
was told relating to humility. I imagined that I was the first to
practise a good thing. I was gratified at being praised a little. 3.
