Stay always at the feet of Jesus

May 17

Stay, my child, close, very close to the feet of Jesus with Mary Magdalene, content with little practice those virtues that are more suited to your age and your spirit. A retailer is entrusted, not a big basket, but a little.I recommend, because it is typical of your age, the holy simplicity, which captures the heart of Jesus. Do not be afraid of those dangers you see from afar, as you write me, and we've tried to word length on several occasions. I seem to you that are hosts, and are not anything but willows with many branches and, when walking, you run the danger of deceiving, until you have them in your sight.Here, my child, a strong and comprehensive purpose of wanting to serve and love God with all your heart, and, out of this, you do not worry any thought of the future. Think about doing good in the present day, and when tomorrow comes, today will then be called, and then it's time to think about it.Always have great confidence and resignation in divine providence, and not try to make more provisions of mana that you need for the present day, and no doubt that God will rain the next day, and so on every day of your life.
