From your teachers, the good Sisters of St. Mary's Academy you have received the training which enables you to take your position in the world with confidence. You have the knowledge and equipment to be exemplary Christians. You have been told howto be true to yourself. You should be able not only to think right, but also how to act right. Your trained conscience should be able to guide you through life's squalls. Be true to your God. All your dealings with yourself or with others, every- thing you do, fall under one or the other of God's Commandments. Make your decisions and test your actions by your love of God. lf you love Me, keep my Commandments . We are not all required to do extraordinary things, but we must all try to do all things well for His Sake.
