A Good Confession:
In regard to thoughts: lack of purity and goodness you ought to have in memory, intellect, and will.
In regard to words: lack of truthfulness and purity of intention.
In regard to deeds: Confess any lack of the proper and only motive—God alone without any other concern.
When something distasteful or unpleasant comes your way, remember Christ crucified and be silent.
Live in faith and hope, even though you are in darkness, because it is in these darknesses that God protects the soul.
Cast your care on God, for he watches over you and will not forget you. Do not think that he leaves you alone; that would be an affront to him.
Read, pray, rejoice in God, both your good and your salvation. May he grant you this good and this salvation and conserve it all until the day of eternity. Amen.
