The CONQUEST of SELF




It is the grandest triumph that any man can achieve. It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect.

The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others. Never tell others what

has been said desparagingly of them. To be silent, to suffer to judge no one without actual necessity , and to

listen to the voice of God within us - this will be a continual prayer and a sacrifice of self. God hears with

imperfect beings even when they resist his goodness.

Be aware, it should be our principal care in blaming anyone to spare as much as possible the one in whom the fault

is found. Never say anything mortifying to your neighbor/brother.
