I copied down the following passage from "The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Sienna" several years ago (it is so good), and came across it last week.  If you are seeking all perfection, you will benefit by reading and remembering it. 

Wherefore, in order to arrive at purity, you must entreat Me to do three things: to grant you to be united to Me by the affection of love, retaining in your memory the benefits you have received from Me; and with the eye of your intellect to see the affection of My love, with which I love you inestimably; and in the will of others to discern My Will only, and not their evil will, for I am their Judge, not you, and in doing this, you will arrive at all perfection.

Please say a prayer that I shall arrive at all perfection.

Yours in our Lord's Pierced Side and Broken Heart on the Cross,
Therese
