CHAPTER 11 Still mortification, and talks about what should be made in disease
1 - to complain constantly I do not think any slight indisposition perfect sisters. If you can bear it in silence, do indeed!
When the evil is serious, and manifests itself in a completely different way that you do not do with your complaint. Remember that you are in a few, and if among you there is love and charity, just one that has this bad habit to be worth all the others.
Who is really sick, tell and take the necessary remedies. If it is not dominated by self, so much trouble to try every kind of relief that you will not be afraid to take them without any complaints or no reason. So do not talk and not take the remedies in case of need would be worse than no need to take them, and would do badly if the sisters did not show all their compassion to the sick.
2 - Where love reigns and religious are few, if one gets sick, the care there. But for some small ailments and sudden illnesses of women, beware of the complaining, because at times it is not that of an imagination stirred by the devil.
come and go, and if not stop the bad habit of saying and complain about everything except God, do not end up any more.
Our body has this ugly, which is seen more satisfied, it demands much more.
E 'amazing thing to see how much you want to be happy! And as excuses not miss him, at a minimum need to write, he is deceiving the poor soul and prevents it from advancing.
3 - Remember that not so many poor sick person to complain: and you want to be poor together and treated well?
not fair! Remember, many women still married.
I know of some and even well-off condition, which although full of troubles and serious diseases, yet do not grieve for their husbands, do not dare to breathe. And we - poor me! - We came to the monastery to be treated better than them?
Ah! Sisters, since you are free from the troubles of the world, suffer at least some things for the sake of God without all to know it!
Here is a woman, married, met very bad. Because her husband has nothing to smell, is silent, does not complain, endures all, does not seek comfort from anyone.
And we regret that we will endure, alone with God, these brief afflictions that we deserve with our sins, especially since the consolation of talk always boils down to little?
4 - Excludes always, I repeat, the case of some serious disease, such as a high fever, even though you want then use restraint, quite patient.
I am talking about some small sicknesses that can stand up ... That would never read this book if it came out of here!
What would they say to me all the nuns!
But how gladly bear their chat if you amend one! Only one who cries for no reason, because you do not believe any more, despite the severe pain that may have.
remember instead of our Fathers, those holy hermits of the past, which claim to imitate life!
How many and what pain they suffered them in their loneliness! Hunger, cold, sun and drought, endures all things without any outside of God, which rise.
Do you think that they were of iron, or rather as we too sensitive?
Persuadetevi, daughters, that when our bodies begin to be won, will leave us in peace, no longer haunt us. Who is interested in having your needs, lasciatene every care, unless it is a clear need.
If we do not resolve to no longer cure us of death and loss of health, we will not do anything.
5 - As the death, try not to fear it, let yourself entirely in the Lord and what he wants to happen! What we care to die?
How many times this body has made a fool of us! Is it not right that we sometimes laugh at him?
This resolution is more important than you think, because with God's help when you apply a bit 'at a time, to win our body, it is often possible to subjugate. And keep at bay an enemy that is a great way to support all the other fights.
is worthy One who can help us!
I do not think understands the importance of this advice but he who already has the victory. It is so precious that benefits, once known, there is a person, in my opinion, that even to have much peace and sovereignty, is not ready to face even bigger troubles.
