Obedience: June 30
(same as June 29)
The predestination of religious depends upon the love they have for their own Rule, and upon their prompt fulfillment of the duties of their state.
St. John Berchmans was so attached to the observance of his Rule that during his whole life as a religious he was never seen to transgress it. On his deathbed he asked for the book of the Rules, and holding it tightly in his hands said: "With this I die willingly."
