You must not be discouraged or let yourself become dejected if your actions have not succeeded as perfectly as you intended. What do you expect?

Pio of Pietrelcina
Image
Remember that God is within us when we are in a state of grace and outside of us when we are in a state of sin but His angel never abandons us. . . He is our most sincere and faithful friend even when we sadden him with our bad behavior.

In order to attract us, the Lord grants us many graces that we believe can easily obtain Heaven for us. We do not know, however, that in order to grow, we need hard bread: the cross, humiliation, trials and denials.
Pio of Pietrelcina
