Conformed To The Will Of God

“The more we conquer ourselves the moreGods will-Victory-through-our-Lord-Jesus-Christ-w He gives us of His grace; and if today we have had power to overcome one difficulty, tomorrow and the day after we shall be able to surmount others that are much greater and more distressing.”
                             -St Vincent de Paul
For Reflection:
During this season of Lent, what one frailty or weakness do I wish to overcome to be more conformed to the will of God? According to St. Vincent de Paul, how will this help me in the future?

1.2 Works of penance.  Frequent confession, mortification, alms-giving.

All Christians can practise almsgiving –  not only the rich and powerful, but those too who are no more than moderately well off and even the poor; in this way people who are unequal in their capacity to give alms are equal in the love and affection with which they give.
