Self-conquest ....
Strengthened will ....
Christ's work of redemption ....

A way of life according to the will of God requires great overcoming of oneself, thus a strong will. However, man cannot muster the strength of will on his own, since the will is often weakened to the point of complete lack of will due to the original sin through the former apostasy from God [here the sentence is changed in the manuscript as follows (sin of the former apostasy)]. Nevertheless, man can acquire the strength of will through heartfelt prayer to Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer ..... This is the simplest yet surest means to defy all dangers, to resist and to be able to overcome oneself.

And the weakest will will become strong, for this is what Jesus Christ died for on the cross ..... With His death He purchased a strengthened will for people, and everyone may request this strengthened will who believes in Him and His work of redemption. The former sin bore man's weakened will .... Jesus Christ took the sins of the world upon Himself and thus also the consequence of sin .... the weak will. He redeemed the guilt of those who acknowledge His sacrifice, and thus He restores to them the strengthened will by virtue of which they can now lead a way of life according to God's will.

It is a grace which He acquired for people on the cross, which people are unable to grasp, for what lies helpless and weak on the ground can rise up and now work on itself full of strength and power; its will is strong, and a strong will is able to do everything .... However, free will remains untouched, for the grace of the act of Salvation is only granted to it if it expresses its will to ascend through heartfelt prayer to Jesus Christ. Weakness of will need not prevent him from striving towards God, it is just that the human being cannot muster the perseverance to do so. And therefore he should ask for a strong will for the sake of Jesus Christ, and his request will be heard as soon as he acknowledges Jesus Christ.

And then he will be able to wage the battle against the world, which is expressed in the overcoming of himself. He must renounce everything that belongs to the world, what his body desires, he must sacrifice, i.e. give to his neighbour, what makes him happy himself, he must put himself aside and do love to his fellow human beings, and all this demands overcoming, it demands a strong will that puts all good resolutions into action. But this strong will can be requested at any time, and this prayer will never go unheard ....

Amen
