of my soul, and of all my senses, both

DAY - August 19
“Our wish, our object, our chief preoccupation must be to
form Jesus in ourselves, to make His spirit, His devotion,
His affections, His desires and His disposition live and reign there.
All our religious exercises should be directed to this end.

us to do unceasingly.”-
