Strength of character is certainly needed to face life in the world and to stand by right principles, especially in the age in which we live.

Jesus went before us on the narrow path along which He beckons us to follow Him.

I am where God wills me to be, and so I have found rest and security. His wisdom governs me, His power defends me, His grace sanctifies me, His mercy encompasses me, His joy sustains me and all will go well with me.

If humility is always desirable, generous humility is still more so.

All desire but that of doing God's holy will has been extinguished in me.

O Jesus, my Divine Saviour, I offer You my mind and heart. Direct their movements while I pray, so that I may offer my prayer in union with Your Immaculate Mother.

Strengthen in us, O God, the work You have begun in us.
