Se confesser souvent
The Discipline of Frequent Confession
The king advises his daughter to seek frequent confession with a holy, learned guide and to remain open to correction.
Dear daughter, make a habit of confessing often, and always choose a confessor who lives a holy life and is sufficiently learned, so that through him you may be taught what you should avoid and what you should do; and carry yourself in such a way that your confessor and your other friends will dare to instruct you and correct you boldly.

Rule yourself daily, not just on retreat
Chosen Portion turns the mirror into a daily practice — a short reading and examining question each morning before you lead anyone.
Chosen Portion makes the mirror daily: the ruler-formation questions this collection preserves become a two-minute morning examination in the app.
- A daily formation reading drawn from centuries of counsel to those in authority
- One pointed examination question a day — two minutes, before the meetings start
- Track your practice over weeks and watch the examined life become a habit
