Fight like a knight, so that I can reward you

Jesus said---

"I want to teach you about spiritual warfare.
Never trust in yourself, but abandon yourself totally to My Will....
Put your self-love in the last place so that it does not taint your deeds.... Do not fear struggle; courage itself often intimidates temptations,
and they dare not attack us.
Always fight with the deep conviction that I am with you.
Do not be guided by feeling, because it is not always under your control; but all merit lies in the will....
I will not delude you with prospects of peace and consolations;
on the contrary, prepare for great battles....
Know that you are now on a great stage
where all heaven and earth are watching you.
Fight like a knight, so that I can reward you.
Do not be unduly fearful, because you are not alone."
(1760)

The words of Jesus to St. Faustina
Divine Mercy in My Soul
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

the poetic parsing provides an appropriate intensity to St. Faustina's visions. :)
