Belittling those whom you envy because you feel that they are superior to yourself.
Dilating on your pains and aches and misfortunes to every one who will listen to you.
Speculating as to what you would do in some one else's place, and do your best in your own.
Gazing idly into the future and dreaming about it, instead of making the most of the present. — London Opinion.
XIV. A Rule of Life
"He that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved"
I. DAILY Conduct. — Have a fixed hour for rising in the morning; bless yourself with holy water, and as soon as possible after your toilet recite devoutly your morning prayers. During the day make at least a short meditation or a spiritual reading. It is commendable to read daily from the "Lives of the Saints." Hear Mass; make a visit to the Most Blessed Sacrament and to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. If you can not go to church, make your visit and adoration at home, turning toward the nearest tabernacle and receiving holy communion spiritually. Recite the Angelus; say the beads. In the evening examine your conscience and recite your evening prayers.
