SUNDAY: Your dwelling will be
the wound on the right hand of our Lord, wherein your soul
will look at itself from time to time like in a mirror, to
discover in her the comparison of the works, patience,

the smallness of your works. Thus, humbled, you will
ask pardon from this Sovereign judge, saying: Pardon me, oh
my God, and save with your goodness what you can comdemn
with justice. You will present to the Lord the pain of
having offenden him with repeated acts of contrition and to
endure with the spirit of expiation all that one offers
to suffer in this day. Perform : Ten acts of

and condescending with everybody and in all ocassions. This

TUESDAY: Today you will
withdraw to the wound on the right foot of our Lord Jesus Christ,
contemplating in how much he has ran to get and bring you
back to the fold of a Good Shepherd: you will be hidden in
this wound to keep you from the shelter of the wolf, this is
the demon, and much more your pride and your own will.
You will ask Him that you may not walk in the other path but
one of His love and you will say to Him: My beloved Jesus,.......that
I may not be strayed from You, I don't like other pastures
than those You will give me. This day, going and coming to all
parts, thinking that you walk in following your Good
Shepherd, never lose the ocassion in something to humble you.

WEDNESDAY: You will
enter in the wound on the left foot of Jesus like a soldier
to take new breath and effort: you will look bound to fight
againt numerous enemies, do not be afraid, for if
you fight with all you courage and strength, little by
little, you will defeat them because Jesus fights for you;
this Lord could exempt us from the fight but does not
want it, making us triumphant in being weak. Weak that we
are, we may discover his strength in our weakness. Ask Him frequently: Lord, I am
yours, save me, I don't have strength, but in You, I don't
have victory but for You. This day you will exercise
in continued mortifications of your passions. Perform:
Three acts of patience and to mortify three times the tongue
and the sight.
THURSDAY: You will
enter in the wound of the Divine Heart like in an oven of
aflamed love; there your soul will have no more liberty than
to love, more power than of love, nor more desire than be
consumed itself in love; in this fire will disappear like a
straw your pride and your own will; and embraced in
this love, you may not love less all that God loves and you
will show it especially in your Sisters. You will
repeat this day with frequency: I live, I am not I anymore,
but Jesus lives in me and I live for His love. You
will try to study this day the movements of the Divine Heart
where you have withdrawn and formed with Him your intentions
and desires. Perform: Ten acts of the love of
God.
FRIDAY: You will put
your dwelling at the foot of the Cross, considering
in it
Jesus like a beloved mother that has conceived you inside
His Heart with infinite sorrows. You will rest in His
Heart and in His arms like a child in the arms of his mother,
where he finds his comfort and security. Therefore,
abandon yourself to this divine Heart without restlessness
nor distrusts, satisfied in loving Him in this present
moment, without desiring another thing outside this love.

Lord.
SATURDAY: In this
day you will accompany the Most Holy Virgin in her sorrow,
looking as she has in her arms her dead and disfigured
Divine Son for my sins; you will tell her that she may not

her own Mother and that she may assist you in all instances
of your life, promise to honor her with your behavior,
making you an honorable child of hers. Perform:
Five acts of love to the Most Holy Virgin and to mortify
five times your own will.
