TWENTY-FIFTH DAY.
Take care that you examine not nor judge the orders of your Superior; that is not the business of him who must submit, but of him who commands. — St. Jerome.
It was said of St. John Berchmans that he had not sufficient prudence to perform something which was required of him. To the one who spoke thus he said: “My brother, I ought to leave prudence to him who commands; as for me, I will hold to obedience.”
Prayer.
Lord, I will no longer examine or judge the commands given me. Is it not sufficient for me to know them, since I am obliged to obey? Thou only askest of me the accomplishment of Thy will. I will wish to do it constantly to please Thee.
