Obedience and Trust

April 12



 It's diabolical concern that fills your mind with respect to the position he has entrusted to you obedience and the innumerable consequences of which, because of it, you have come. Continue to obey, and you'll have secured the best prize that can promise a soul that loves Jesus. You must not admit any confusion in your mind for any reason, and that at least that "I mean". I understand that the soul in which God dwells, always fear offending God in every step, and this fear becomes unbearable if it relates to the fulfillment of his duties. But that soul is comforted, because it is precisely this fear that will never crumble in failure, if you decide to move on. My brother, if you stay up depends on us, surely the first blow would fall into the hands of the enemies of our salvation. Always trust in divine mercy and we will experience increasing goodness of the Lord.
Those practices, but in itself good, try to remove more and more of you, because if it is true that in the past everything has gone according to God's heart, can not think the same about the future. It is true that the priest, now more than ever, should be accessible to all, but my brother, to do this would require a large collection of virtue. In addition, we know that the world is always evil, and we should not give reason to judgments wicked.
