He sent them to Laura de Rosis every two to three days and later transcribed them in his autobiography: The Story of My Life in the Plan of the Great Mercy of God.\nThis work is from 1912, one of those years which passed in the life of Don Dolindo with the cadence of a “Way of the Cross.” But he, serene as ever, loved Christ and Our Lady the more, and reflected this love in these few pages to which he wished to give the significant title: A Profound Reform of Heart in the School of Mary. These meditations are written in the style of the Imitation of Christ.\n----------\nThe month of Mary is the month of a profound reform of heart: we must leave ourselves and adorn ourselves with every virtue and every spiritual good.\n\nIn the springtime plants are reborn to a new life; they are adorned with flowers full of perfume and attractive. My soul also needs to reflower in order to be full or virtue and peace!\n\nIn your Heart, O Mary, I will reflower as a lily because you are purity. In your love my coldness will be transformed into warmth because you are full of the flames of divine charity. In your hands I will find refuge because you are the mother of mercy\n\nO Mary, O Mary, cast the glance of your goodness upon me! Even I am a little flower of heaven's field ... Cultivate me and speak to me, O Mary, because by your word I will draw life and love.\n---From the Introduction\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1601140320\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1601140320.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dolindo Ruotolo|Arthur Burton Calkins|Ruotolo Dolindo\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
