Virtue of Obedience – Twenty-First Day of June

Obedience.

“All, therefore, they shall say to you, observe and do.” — St. Matt. 23:3.

TWENTY-FIRST DAY.

When there is question of obedience, do not regard the qualities or the manner of the Superior, for fear you are not obeying God, Whose place the Superior holds. Oh, what a wound the demon makes in the heart of a religious when he begins to swell upon the faults of his Superior! — St. John of the Cross.

St. John Berchmans always saw God in his Superiors, and he always felt for them the greatest veneration. He said he never had for any of them the least aversion; that he found no difficulty in honoring them, obeying them, and of being of their opinion.

Prayer.

My God, I will see only Thee in my Superiors; I will agree with their opinions, will obey promptly and joyfully.
