James 1:2–4
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,
not lacking anything.”

Sept. 30. “Patience, trust, courage, is the bread of the strong, the heroism of martyrs. Therefore, courage!”

BOH VOL 29 Apr.16, 1931
“Courage, my daughter -courage is of souls resolute to do good. They are imperturbable under any storm; and while they hear the roaring of the thunders and lightnings to the point of trembling, and remain under the pouring rain that pours over them, they use the water to be washed and come out more beautiful; and heedless of the storm, they are more than ever resolute and courageous in not moving from the good they have started.
Discouragement is of irresolute souls, which never arrive at accomplishing a good. Courage sets the way, courage puts to flight any storm, courage is the bread of the strong, courage is the warlike one that knows how to win any battle.
Therefore, good daughter, courage,
do not fear. And besides, what do you fear? I gave you six Angels for your custody; each of them has the task to guide you through the interminable ways of my Eternal Volition, so that you may requite with your acts, with your love, what the Divine Will did by pronouncing six Fiats in Creation.
So, each Angel is entrusted one Fiat and what came out of this Fiat, to call you to requite each of these Fiats, even with the sacrifice of your life. These Angels gather your acts and form with them a crown, and, prostrate, they offer it to the Divinity as requital for what Our Divine Will did, so that It may be known and form Its Kingdom upon earth. But this is not all; I Myself am at the head of these Angels, guiding you and watching over you in everything, and forming in you the very acts and that love which is needed so that you may have sufficient love to be able to requite so many great works of Our Supreme Volition.
Therefore, do not stop, you have much to do – you have to follow Me who never stops; you have to follow the Angels, because they want to fulfill their task entrusted to them; you have to fulfill your mission of daughter of the Divine Will.”

PRAYER OF THE DAY:
“My sweet Jesus, may I give You my repeated acts, my incessant prayers and my prolonged sacrifice of a life buried alive; which is nothing other than the spacious ground on which You will place such a great good.
May each act of mine be a little letter that I send to You; and You, in reading it, say:
“Ah! yes, there is someone who wants Our Will upon earth, and who wants to give her own life in order to make lt reign!”
