"Pere Grou's great theme in the Spiritual Maxims is his insistence
on the following of the spirit of Christ as opposed to what he
calls the natural spirit, or the spirit of private judgment. Prayer
for him is contemplative prayer, or the prayer of the interior way.
Not that he despised formal meditation by any means, but he
regarded it always as a stepping-stone towards a higher form of
prayer, the intimate prayer of the spirit. His great aim and desire
was to urge and encourage souls not to be afraid, but to persevere
in a wholehearted gift of themselves to God, and in a faithful
surrender to the guidance of the Holy Ghost." Translator A Monk Of
Parkminster St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be
sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." First Maxim:
By the ladder of sanctity, men ascend and descend at the same time,
which leads to knowledge of God and true knowledge of self. Second
Maxim: Yield your liberty to God, and have no will but His Third
Maxim: Pray for a wise guide whom, when you have found, trust,
revere and obey Fourth Maxim: Be always mindful of the God Who is
present everywhere, and Who dwells in the hearts of the just Fifth
Maxim: Keep close to Our Lord in His mysteries, and draw the purest
love from His salutary wounds Sixth Maxim: Make good use of the two
sacraments, whereof one brings cleansing, and the other life, that
is Penance and the Holy Eucharist Seventh Maxim: Let your intention
be pure, and your devotion simple and upright Eighth Maxim: Follow
the enlightening spirit of Christ: mistrust the blindness and
treachery of the natural mind Ninth Maxim: Take no account of
external things: seek strenuously after those blessings which are
to be found within Tenth Maxim: Listen to Him Who teaches the heart
without sound of words. Receive His peace, and guard it faithfully
Eleventh Maxim: Treat God as a child treats his Father amd thus
acquire a child-like spirit Twelfth Maxim: Beware of resisting the
leadings of grace: be thoroughly generous in great things and in
small Thirteenth Maxim: Never cease to struggle with the enemy that
lives within the soul, and practice holy mortification Fourteenth
Maxim: When God bids you be still in prayer, humble yourself
silently before His Majesty Fifteenth Maxim: Cling not to sensible
sweetness: suffer dryness with a good heart Sixteenth Maxim: The
tempter combines cunning with violence: we must meet him with
prayer and vigilance Seventhteenth Maxim: Beware of self-love, the
rival of the love of God Eighteenth Maxim: Stay quietly at home:
regulate your day, and waste no time Nineteenth Maxim: Let charity
and piety begin at home, that is always fulfill your daily duties.
Twentieth Maxim: Be cordial and kind, gentle and lowly; considerate
towards others, severe upon yourself Twenty-First Maxim: Go
straight on: never stop or look back. Grieve for sin, but never
lose courage Twenty-Second Maxim: When we know our own
helplessness, we learn to appreciate the value and efficacy of
grace Twenty-Third Maxim: Love is our law: God is our portion; here
by faith, in heaven by sight. Twentieth Maxim: Social Relationships
Be cordial and kind, gentle and lowly; considerate towards others,
severe upon yourself
