Lord, grant me the grace to understand that you have deigned to enter my life and that this is evidence of the attention you give me. Teach me that the good you have planned for me can also, very often, go through difficult crosses to bear, and at the same time, teach me that you do not want my life to be mediocre.
Help me to maintain a positive and hopeful spirit in times of darkness, difficulty and temptation.

Fr. Marie
