Transcript:

There are different examples, according to your lifestyle, to your condition of life, and you have to ask God, your guardian angel, to illuminate you, what which kind of penance you can do. It could be some obligation in in eating or drinking some it could be very discrete. When you it's very it could be a very small also action, for example, not to take sugar or not to take salt and so on. No one will observe this. It is better to make such penances which are hidden not seen by others, for example, or to awake 10 minutes earlier in the morning. This could be a small act of balance, and not to assist television, maybe, and so on. Sometimes it could be a penance to support a difficult person in in your in your neighborhood, in your family, or to keep silent, not to answer. Always, it could be a good, salutary dependence. So, I repeat, it depends on your conditions.
