Prayer: Francis Borgia, S.J.
Whoever wishes to accomplish these spiritual works of the Society needs to be on the cross, that is, on the mortification of the cross. (1) To feel the cross of Christ. (2) To grieve at not suffering. (3) A cross when there is not cross. (4) To feel the cross with my life, for not having given it for Christ. It is madness to believe that without the cross, without hardship, without suffering, we can accomplish the type of spiritual works our Society aims at.
