28. There is no greater love than to let one's soul be penetrated with the love of God, willingly
abandoning all that one is, and never taking anything back for a single second. To be bound to God by vows is a great grace.
It signifies that from then onwards God possesses us totally, and that confirmed in love, we wish to live for Him alone. Our
will is entirely at the disposal of His will, and this disposition extends to every moment of our life.
29. May our will constantly tend to a greater conformity to the divine will. May it suffer patiently
all adversities. May it suffer calmly, with docility without contention. May it suffer joyfully. It is towards this that we
must strive, and continue to strive throughout our whole life, until we find joy in doing it in spite of human weaknesses
and vexations, anguish and scorn, in spite of the heaviest trials.
30. Let yourself be led by Providence without either resisting
outwardly or murmuring in your heart. If for serious reasons you judge yourself inapt to fulfill a function, speak of it openly
and discreetly to your superiors, and submit to their decision. The will of God, without any doubt, speaks through them.
31. They deceive themselves, those who wish to lean on their own strength. The all-powerful hand
withdraws from them and abandons them to their incapability and incapacity.
32. In order to be able to love with all our strength we must make an appeal to grace and constantly
knock at the door of Divine Mercy.
