List of points

You write: 'To pray is to talk with God. But about what?' About what? About Him, about yourself: joys, sorrows, successes and failures, noble ambitions, daily worries, weaknesses! And acts of thanksgiving and petitions: and Love and reparation.

In a word: to get to know him and to get to know yourself: 'to get acquainted!'

You know that there are 'evangelical counsels.' To follow them is a refinement of Love. It is said to be the way of few. At times I feel it could be the way of many.

You talk of dying 'heroically'. Do you not think that it is more 'heroic' to die a bourgeois death, in a good bed, unnoticed… but to die of love-sickness.

Do everything for Love. Thus there will be no little things: everything will be big. Perseverance in little things for Love is heroism.

A little act, done for Love, is worth so much!

Have you noticed how human love consists of little things? Well, divine Love also consists of little things.

Sometimes we feel inclined to act as little children. What we do then has a wonderful value in God's eyes and, so long as we don't let routine creep in, our 'little' actions will indeed be fruitful with the unfailing fruitfulness of Love.

There is a story of a soul who, on saying to our Lord in prayer, 'Jesus, I love you', heard this reply from heaven: 'Love means deeds, not sweet words.'

Think if you also could deserve this gentle reproach.
