36.  To say frequently to yourself, I have come to the convent, not to indulge in pleasure, but to suffer; not to lead a life of comfort, but of poverty; not to be honored, but to be despised; not to do my own will, but the will of others.

37.  To renew always the purpose to become a saint, and not to lose courage in any state of tepidity in which you may find yourself.

38.  To renew every day the vows of your profession.

39.  To conform to the divine will in all things opposed to the senses, in sorrows, infirmities, affronts, contradictions, losses of property, death of relatives or of other persons that are dear to you.  And to direct all your actions, Communions, and other prayers to that end, always asking of God to make you love him, and fulfil His holy will in all things.

40.  To recommend yourself to the prayers of other devout persons; but to recommend yourself more to the saints in heaven, and particularly to the Blessed Virgin, setting a great value on the devotion to this divine mother, and endeavoring to infuse it into others.
