Self-love may be mortified in us, but it never dies; from time to time it sends forth shoots which prove that, though cut down to the root, it is never completely destroyed.
100.
Self-love never leaves us. It sleeps sometimes like a fox, then suddenly springs upon the chickens. We must therefore be constantly watchful of it, and patiently defend ourselves against it.
101.
Let us keep firm hold of the merciful hand of our good God, for He wishes to draw us after Him.
102.
Live wholly according to the Spirit, live quietly in peace, have perfect confidence that God will help you.
103.
Be careful to purify your heart more and more each day. Now, this purity consists in weighing everything in the scales of the sanctuary, which are only the will of God.
