ST. JOHN HENRY NEWMAN’S

"A Short Road to Perfection"

"If you ask me what you are to do in order to be perfect, I say:

•  Do not lie in bed beyond the due time of rising;
• Give your first thoughts to God;
• Make a good visit to the Blessed Sacrament;
• Say the Angelus devoutly;
• Eat and drink to God’s glory;
• Say the Rosary well;
• Be recollected;
• Keep out bad thoughts;
• Make your evening meditation well;
• Examine yourself daily;
• Go to bed in good time.

And you are already perfect."
