This is a Time For Struggle .

Post by Denise » Thu Aug 14, 2014 3:21 pm

My Jesus, despite Your graces, I see and feel all my misery.
I begin my day with battle and end it with battle.
As soon as I conquer one obstacle, ten more appear to take its place. But I am not worried,
because I know that this is the time of struggle, not peace.
When the burden of the battle becomes too much for me,
I throw myself like a child into the arms of the heavenly Father
and trust I will not perish.
O my Jesus, how prone I am to evil,
and this forces me to be constantly vigilant.
But I do not lose heart.
I trust God's grace, which abounds in the worst misery.
In the midst of the worst difficulties and adversities,
I do not lose inner peace or exterior balance,
and this discourages my adversaries.
Patience in adversity gives power to the soul.
(#606-607)

Words of St. Faustina
from 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
