Ave Maria!— August’s Theme: Spiritual Aridity
“Do not be discouraged in the face of the trials to which the Divine Mercy wishes to subject you. He still wants to try you and strengthen you at the school of sacrifice and pain. Do not be discouraged; pray with humility and remember the calm after the rain, the light after the darkness, the placid quiet after the tempest and the whirlwind. The merciful help of the paternal love of our God, and the great gifts of His divine majesty, will certainly surround with glory the faith of those who have persevered.”
