With Your Rule
Taking Time and Having Patience
[Difficulties] "in your personality make it difficult for you to achieve the order you would like to observe in your daily behavior...Though you may know better, you are inclined to act worse in order to relieve yourself from uneasiness, stress or frustration of the moment...Your main conflict will be within yourself rather than with others. It will be between your old, established undesireable habits and your new, desireable, but still weak motivations. Though God's grace is always at your disposal, you will still need time, practice and experience to establish new habits. Failure will be part of this experience..."
Fr Anthony Paone, SJ, in "My Daily Life", Brooklyn:Confraternity of the Precious Blood, 1970, pp169-170

All personal growth is a process - a progression - to wholeness and holiness. A little step at a time, repeated over and over, until the habit is formed - this is the realistic way to approach a mother's rule of life...
