It is true that God's power triumphs over everything, but humble and suffering prayer prevails over God Himself.

The greatest act of faith is that which rises to your lips in total darkness together with the sacrifices, sufferings and wholehearted efforts of a determined will to do good. This act of faith strikes through the darkness of your soul like lightening. In the midst of tempest it raises you up and leads you to God.

The Lord is a Father, the most tender and best of fathers. He cannot fail to be moved when His children appeal to Him.

Stop entertaining those vain fears. Remember it is not feeling which constitutes guilt but the consent to such feelings. Only the free will is capable of good or evil. But when the will sighs under the trial of the tempter and does not will what is presented to it, there is not only no fault but there is virtue.

If you have the courage to imitate Mary Magdalene in her sins, have the courage to imitate her penance!

May the Mother of Jesus and our Mother, always smile on your spirit, obtaining for it, from her Most Holy Son, every heavenly blessing.
