It can be a matter of particular examination (struggle on a specific point) to increase the presence of God in the midst of work, in family life, while walking down the street; to be more attentive to discover where a tabernacle is and to address to the Lord a greeting or an ejaculatory prayer, even if we cannot approach it at that moment; to take care of punctuality, starting in the morning at the time of rising, at the beginning of prayer, or Holy Mass...; to be patient with ourselves, with the defects of those who collaborate in the same work, or in the family; to suppress at the root the habit of murmuring and to contribute to avoid murmuring in our presence; to be patient with those who collaborate in the same work, or in the family. patience with ourselves, with the defects of those who collaborate in the same work, or in the family; to suppress from the root the habit of murmuring and to contribute so that people do not murmur in our presence; the brusqueness in the treatment; the disinterest for the needs of the neighbor; to gain in the virtue of gratitude, in such a way that we know how to give thanks even for very small favors and services of ordinary life; to be more orderly in the distribution of time, in the books or instruments of work, in personal things, in the dealings with the Guardian Angels. .. A particular examination that will leave a deep mark on the soul, if we struggle, can be to love and live better the Holy Mass and Communion.
Even if in some cases the goal of the particular examination may present itself in its negative side, as resistance to evil, the best way to fight it will be to practice the opposite virtue to the defect we are trying to uproot: To practice humility in order to overcome the tendency to be the center of everything or the desire to always receive praise and accolades; to practice serenity in order to avoid haste.... In this way the interior struggle becomes more effective and attractive. "The movement of the soul towards the good is stronger than the movement away from evil "9.
Before pointing out the subject of the particular examination, we must ask the Lord for light in order to know what He wants us to struggle for: Domine, ut videam!10, Lord, let him see, we can say to him like the blind man of Jericho. And ask for help in spiritual direction.
