The duty of perseverance on our
part is made up of three things-of fidel-
ity in following the Spirit of God, Of
fervor, that is, eXactness, regularity,
punctuality in the discharge of our du-
ties towards God and our neighbor, and,
lastly, of delicacy of conscience, so that
our ear is prompt to hear the voice of
the Holy Spirit, and our eye is quick to
see what he requires of u.s. When the
conscience is delicate and sensitive we
listen, hear and respond. When its
sight is open and clear we watch for the
tokens and rise up quickly at the guild
.nnce of the Holy Spirit. Man
