   3. Consider the means that must be employed in every state of life for   
   the faithful fulfillment of our duties. To know our duties well and to   
   have the necessary strength to fulfill them, we must apply the   
   religious means at our disposal: daily prayer, listening to the Word   
   of God, and the frequent reception of the sacraments. To overcome our   
   own personal indolence and the opposition of fallen nature, we must   
   deny ourselves, according to the words of our Lord: "If any man will   
   come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily" (Luke   
   9:23). Finally, it is necessary that we keep before our eyes the first   
   and greatest commandment: To love God above all things and our   
   neighbor as ourselves. This will help you to be faithful to your duty   
   in every station in life, like Blessed Louise, so that you, too, may   
   one day hear the words of the Lord: "Because you have been faithful   
   over a few things, I will place you over many things; enter you into   
   the joy of your Lord" (Matt 25:23).
