Torrente impossible to contain

February 10
It is now time to confess : we are miserable , as it's very good that we can practice . But God , in his goodness , pities us, reaches also indulge in this bit, and accepts the preparation of our hearts. But what this preparation of our hearts? According to God's word, God is infinitely greater than our heart, and it beats all the other realities when , apart from worrying about himself, places the service that should be offered to God, that is, when you accept the commitment to serve God , to love , to love our neighbor , to observe the mortification of the external and internal senses , and other good purposes.
During that time , our heart is prepared and has his works to an eminent degree of Christian perfection. All this , my dear daughter, is in no way proportionate to the greatness of God, who is infinitely larger than the universe , our abilities, our external actions. An intelligence consider this greatness of God, His goodness and immense dignity , you can not help but offer great preparations .This preparation will present a body mortified without rebellion attention to prayer without voluntary distractions a huge talking sweetness without bitterness , a sense of humility without vanity. Here , my dear , good preparations. It is true that some people do not see that would be necessary preparations much larger to serve God , but it is also necessary to find out who can perform them , for when we have to implement them, it is easy to stop , seeing us these perfections can not be be neither so high nor so absolute.You can mortify the flesh , though not entirely , because there will always be some rebellion. Our attention will often be interrupted by distractions. But above all this, do agree restless , troubled , worry and grieve ? No way .
