January 16
Do not ever get up from the table without first having given due thanks to the Lord. By doing so, we have nothing to fear from the accursed gluttony. When eating , take care of the whimsical selection of food, just knowing that little or nothing if what you want is to satisfy the stomach. Never take more food than necessary, and try to be moderate in all, looking forward to lean more toward sobriety to excess . I do not pretend , however, that you get up from the table fasting , no, this is not my intention. All acts wisely, standard for all human actions .Do not ever go to bed without having considered your awareness of how you spent the day , and not before all thy thoughts be directed to God , having offered and consecrated a person and even all Christians, especially my poor person, I do that same for you .It also provides for the glory of His Divine Majesty the rest you 'll take, and never forget the guardian angel that is always with you , never leaves you , even to the offenses that you can give .
( December 17, 1914 , to Raffaelina Cerase - . Ep II , p 273. )
