There are some physical illnesses, whose recovery depends on a successful lifestyle. Self-love, self esteem, the false freedom of spirit, are roots that can not easily eradicate the human heart. Only you can prevent the production of its fruits, which are sins, because their first shoots and branches, that is, their first jerking and his first moves, in fact can not be prevented while in this mortal life, although can be moderated and reduce its quality and strength through the practice of the contrary virtues, particularly the love of God.
It is therefore necessary to have patience to cut bad habits, dislikes tame and overcome their own inclinations and mood swings, for, my good little girl, this life is a struggle and no one can say, "I have not been tempted. "The stillness is reserved for heaven, where we expect the palm of victory. Here on earth, we must always fight between hope and fear, but for the purpose of that hope is always stronger, and bearing in mind the omnipotence of that helps us. Do not get tired because of work, consistently, with confidence and resignation, for your conversion and perfection.
(June 11, 1918, Herminia Gargani - Letters. III, p. 735)
