List of points

New lights! What joy you feel that God has let you 'discover' an old discovery!

Make the most of the occasion: it is the moment to break into a hymn of thanksgiving: it is also the moment to clean up odd corners of your soul, to get out of some rut, to act more supernaturally, to avoid giving bad example to your neighbour.

In a word: let your gratitude show itself in some concrete resolution.

How good Christ was to leave the Sacraments to his Church! They are the remedy for all our needs. Venerate them and be very grateful both to God and to his Church.

'I just can't help singing', said a soul in love, when he saw the wonders that our Lord was working through him

And that is the advice I give to you: sing! Let your grateful enthusiasm for your God overflow into song.

It is not a lack of humility to be aware of the progress of your soul. Then you can thank God for it.

But don't forget that you are a poor beggar, wearing a good suit… on loan.

Have you seen the gratitude of little children? Imitate them, saying to Jesus, when things are favourable and when they are adverse: 'How good you are! How good!…'

These words, if you mean them, are the way of childhood, and will bring you peace, with due measure of tears and laughter, and without measure of Love.
