• God, the Holy Spirit, never contradicts himself, thus, for instance, He will never ask us something that is against the duties of our vocation, against what we are told in spiritual direction, or against our ordinary life commitments

• What matters... Is that we should have a strong and constant determination to obey God in everything, big or little without any exception. Does not mean we must be able to obey in everything, that's impossible due to weakness.
• If we are careless about our normal duties, then however much we beg God for special inspirations there is not much chance of his granting them.
• "I want everything that causes me difficulties". Externally this doesn't change anything about the situation, but internally it changes everything. This consent, inspired by love and trust, makes us free and active instead of passive, and enables God to draw good out everything that happens to us whether good or bad. ... Like sports men who want to train under the most adverse circumstances to be stronger.
• Detachment, especially interior, such as from ideas, dreams and opinions, as well as interior pace, avoiding the internal rus, are essential to be able to hear the Holy Spirit.
