If we have an outgoing and buoyant personality, we often respond easily to the admonition to rejoice in the Lord or to be compassionate and tenderhearted. At the same time, we may find it difficult to exercise self-control or be faithful with responsibilities. Our personality type must pray more earnestly and strive more diligently for these latter graces. Above all, we must be convinced of the necessity of those graces that are most difficult to display.
