Struggling for firm faith ....

B.D. No. 2413 July 18th 1942

Nothing shall shake your faith, and thus you will have to struggle for firm faith even before the time that will make great demands on it. And therefore you must be subjected to trials so that you will not waver in times of adversity. For then you will have no other support than faith alone, but this will also help you to endure and overcome everything, for if you call a strong faith your own you will never stand alone but your father in heaven will always be with you. He is your constant companion to Whom you can entrust yourselves without hesitation, Who guides you correctly and protects you from wrong actions and thoughts. And if you act and think correctly, everything will work out for the best. Therefore, constantly ask for strong faith, fight against your weakness, always remain devoted to God and hand yourselves over to Him in deepest humility and love, and you will never have to do without His support and will become strong in spirit ....

amen
