Virtue of Obedience – Twenty-Third Day of June

Obedience.

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

TWENTY-THIRD DAY.

Do you know why it is that many who are a long time in religion, practicing so many acts of obedience each day, do not acquire the habit of this virtue? It is because they do not obey to do the will of God. This should be the reason of our obedience. — Rodriguez.

St. Magdalene of Pazzi regarded always the person of God in her Superiors. In obeying them she desired to do the will of God; all that her Superior commanded her seemed ordered by God. From this she always experienced inexpressible satisfaction in obeying.

Prayer.

My God, I will obey to accomplish Thy will. What can I do more glorious, more delicious, more advantageous, or more necessary for my soul?
