Ave Maria!— September’s Theme: The Cross
15- “Let us not lose sight of the blessed group of the elect souls. Let us always hold onto them tightly, and let not the weight of the cross that you must carry, nor the long journey you must travel nor the rugged mountain you must climb, frighten you.”
16- “Let the consoling thought always cheer us that after the ascent to Calvary, you will rise still higher; you will ascend to the holy mountain of God, to the heavenly Jerusalem. By Divine Goodness, we are already halfway up the ascent of the mountain of suffering because we find ourselves with the firm resolution to serve and love well this Divine Goodness.”
