Ave Maria!— September’s Theme: The Cross
“I know not what will happen to me; I only know one thing for certain, though, and that is that the Lord will never break His promises. ‘Do not fear’ Jesus keeps repeating to me ‘I will make you suffer, but I will also give you the strength for it. I desire that your soul be purified and tried with a daily and hidden martyrdom. Do not be frightened if I permit the devil to torment you, the world to disgust you and those people dearest to you to afflict you because nothing will prevail over those who groan under the cross for love of me and for whom I do everything to protect them.”
