Salvation

April 11



 Think of the great neglect he suffered our Lord in the Garden of Olives, and notes in this beloved Son, who asks the Father some relief, but knowing that the Father does not bestow it, and not think about it or decide to ask and, like I never wanted this relief, bravery and courage revived with the work of our redemption. In moments of extreme demoralization, you also asked the Father in heaven that will comfort, comfort you, and if he does not place it, not think about it, but arm yourself with courage and resumes the work of your salvation the cross, like you've never had to lose her and like I never could see the horizon serene. What do you, my little one? You need to see and talk to God in thunder and winds. Should see the brambles and the fire of thorns, and to continue, my little one, you must remove your shoes and give up entirely to your will and your whims.
