Ave Maria!— September’s Theme: The Cross
“In certain moments my soul suffers very much, and if, from time to time, this torment was not interrupted by some moment of respite, who knows what might become of me. Yes, this merciful Lord of ours, when the trial is at its peak, solicitously runs to my aid and, loving Father that He is, it seems He consoles me and encourages me to run along the way of the cross. I suffer, it is true, but I do not complain because thus Jesus wants it.”
