20. To banish melancholy, preserving tranquility, and a uniform
serenity of countenance in all crosses. He that wishes what God wishes
should never be afflicted.
21. In
temptations, to have recourse immediately and with confidence to Jesus
and Mary, and to continue constantly to repeat the names of Jesus and
Mary as long as the temptation lasts.
22. To
place all your confidence, first, in the Passion of Christ, and then in
the intercession of Mary, and to ask every day this confidence from God.
23.
After a fault, never to give way to disturbance of mind or to
diffidence, even though you should relapse several times into the same
fault; but instantly to repent of it, and trusting in God, to renew your
resolution to correct it.
24. To render good to all those that treat you badly, at least by praying to God for them.
25. To answer with meekness all those that offend you by acts or words, and thus to gain them to God.
