    Cristóbal de Avila decided on the feast day of St. Mary Magdalen in 1536 to reform his life and better serve God and the Holy Mother, Saint Mary, if given grace by the Holy Ghost. He planned to dedicate six hours each day to sleep, one hour each to hear Mass, read the Gospels or Lives of the Saints, and prayers, and another hour to walking, leaving fourteen hours each day to work and earn a living, all for the greatest service of God and Saint Mary.

    I, Cristóbal de Avila, this day, the feast of St.

    Mary
    Magdalen in the year 1536, have decided to reform
    my life in order to serve God and His holy Mother,
    Saint Mary, better, if the Holy Ghost consents to
    give me His grace, His help and the necessary
    fervour for this service.

    Of the twenty-four hours of the day and night, I


    will take six to sleep; one to hear Mass; another to
    read in the book of the Gospels the Gospel of the
    day, or the Lives of the Saints; another for my
    prayers; another for walking. I shall have fourteen
    hours left in which to work and earn my living.

    May all be for the greatest service of God and of


    His blessed Mother, Saint Mary, and may she
    graciously be with me in all things.
