Jesus the Teacher
Jesus Is My Director
One day, during the morning meditation, I heard this voice: I Myself am your Director; I was, I am, and I will be. And since you asked for visible help, I chose and gave you a director even before you had asked, for My work required this. Know that the faults you commit against him wound My Heart. Be especially on your guard against self-willfulness; even the smallest thing should bear the seal of obedience.
With a crushed and humbled heart, I begged forgiveness of Jesus for these faults. I also begged pardon of my spiritual director and resolved to do nothing rather than to do many things wrongly (Diary, 362).

My Prayer Response:
Lord Jesus, thank You for being my Director and Teacher. I also ask You to give me help through a visible director to guide me according to Your will and not mine.

"You are asking for something that would be harmful to your salvation if you had it—so by not getting what you've asked, you really are getting what you want."
