Ihad nofocus on everythingthat Idofor somereasonI

maybe the reason why I easily get mad and impulsive
lately. I hate this feeling but still it occurs due to
unexplainedsadnessIhavewithin.Itseemslikethereis

may help me with all my problems in life, mentally,
financially,emotionallyandspiritually.

with kindness, not harshness. Unfortunately,
sometimes Iact on myown whimand mind’s desires. I
usedtoforgetthatIhavetoactgraciouslyformywelfare

It is quite clear to me that God is
reminding me something through the
letter of St. La Salle to his Brother
Mathias. I have read many of his letters
in the pdf file but this one really strikes
something and relates to me. As if he is
really talking to me and know me as I am
or the flaws I have. I chose to respond
to this letter to express my thoughts
and answers to some of his questions as
if questioning me.
In the end, his message is firm for
every letter: Be good/kind and whatever
we do, do it in the purpose of God and

7. for God alone for our welfare and
salvation.
