Forget not His blessings
You should continually and unceasingly call to mind
all the blessings which God in His love has bestowed on you in the past, and
still bestows for the salvation of your soul. You must not let forgetfulness of
evil or laziness make you grow unmindful of these many and great blessings, and
so pass the rest of your life uselessly and ungratefully. For this kind of
continual recollection, pricking the heart like a spur, moves it constantly to
confession and humility, to thanksgiving with a contrite soul, and to all forms
of sincere effort, repaying God through its virtue and holiness. In this way
the heart meditates constantly and conscientiously on the words from the
Psalms: 'What shall I give to the Lord in return for all His benefits towards
me?' (Psalm 116:12)."
