Whilst out in Lourdes, I bought "Have a good day! - A thought for each day of the year" and I thought I'd share them with you (I'll try and update this regularly if people are interested and I can remember to!! The book is all thoughts by Padre Pio (St Pio of Pietrelcina).

July 23rd
"I am suffering, and suffering very much, but thanks to our good Jesus I still feel a little strength, and when aided by Jesus what is the creature not capable of doing?"

Don’t refuse in any way or for any reason to act charitably to all without exception. Go out of your way to do this when you get the chance. The Lord desires it and you must make an effort to do it

(Sorry, this'll be the last one for a week- I go away early tomorrow morning for Summer Camp, and I won't be back will the following Saturday)

Back again! Praise the Lord for his blessings!

Furthermore, I tell you to love your abjection, and loving your abjection consists precisely in this: If you are humble, tranquil, sweet and confident in times of darkness and impotence; that is, if you do not become restless, upset and anxious because of all this, but are cheerful (I don’t say joyful, but that you frankly and constantly embrace these crosses, and remain in this darkness) then you will love your abjection. Because what does abjection mean if not to be humble and powerless?

Let us also ask our good Jesus for the humility, trust and faith of our dear saint Clare; let us pray fervently to Jesus like her. Let us abandon ourselves to Him; detach ourselves from this lying world where everything is folly and vanity; everything passes, only God remains to the soul, if it knows how to love Him well

You must principally insist on the basis of Christian justice and the foundation of goodness; that is on the virtues which one deliberately tries to imitate: humility, interior and exterior humility, but more interior than exterior, more felt than shown, more profound than visible

I am sure you desire to know what the best abjection is, and I tell you it is that which we have not chosen ourselves, or that which is less welcome to us. Or, to explain this better, those towards which we feel no inclination
