Faith in God and in His love<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I have faith that God always wants my true good and that nothing happens without His permission?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I doubt His love in difficult times, do I get discouraged, and do I think He has abandoned me?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Trust and surrender<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I truly entrust my life to God, even when everything is going wrong?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I try to control everything; do I live in excessive anxiety, and am I too attached to my security (health, future, possessions)?<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Acceptance and conformity to God&#8217;s will<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I accept what God allows\u2014illnesses, trials, humiliations, disappointments\u2014without rebelling or protesting?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I truly want what God wants, in the way and at the time He acts, without adapting His will to my desires?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I say &#8220;yes&#8221; to God even in difficult times?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I refuse to take up the cross when it appears because I do not understand it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Seeking God&#8217;s will<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I seek God&#8217;s will in prayer before making a decision? Do I ignore the signs and inspirations I receive?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I live without questioning what God wants for my life?<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Obedience and docility<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I obey the commandments, the Church, and those in authority over me?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I interpret the faith in my own way or refuse obedience out of pride?<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Detachment from self and from things<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I truly put God first, without making family, work, or anything else my &#8220;first love&#8221;?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I know how to detach myself from what binds me too tightly?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I live too concentrated on myself?<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Purity of intention<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I do things for God or for myself, seeking to please Him more than men?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I act out of pride, self-interest, or a search for approval?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I let myself be guided by human respect?<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Daily life and concrete conformity<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I accept the small daily annoyances with patience, without complaining or always seeking the easiest way?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I ignore God&#8217;s will in the small things of everyday life?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I live through difficult situations with patience?<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Gratitude and inner peace<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I thank God for all that He gives me? Do I take everything for granted?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I recognise the graces received in my life? Do I forget the benefits I have received?<br \/>\n&#8211; Can I say thank you even in difficulties? Do I complain instead of giving thanks?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I live in peace of heart, without getting needlessly agitated or losing my serenity over small things?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I remain calm in difficulties?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I live restlessly and dissatisfied?<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Love for God&#8217;s will<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8211; Do I love God&#8217;s will or do I merely endure it by force?<br \/>\n&#8211; Do I try to unite my will with His, truly desiring what He desires?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 1.
