Fear not, I am your protector

November 4
Covet daughters, proud without anxiety, the best way to perform with perfection what you have and want to do; but, once made, do not think about it anymore, but Concern yourselves only what you should or want to do and what you are doing. Walk with ease in the ways of the Lord and not torment your spirit. It is necessary, yes, your defects hate each other, but with a quiet and not a hate hate and restless. We must be patient with the faults and take advantage of them by a holy resignation.
Without this patience, my good daughters, your imperfections, rather than diminish, grow more and more, because there is nothing to feed both our faults as anxiety and concern for them away. Remember, girls, I'm an enemy of useless desires, no less than I am from the dangerous and evil desires; because if it is true that what you want is good, but that desire is always defective in relation to ourselves, especially when mixed with a proud concern, since God does not require this kind of property, but others, who wants us to exercise us.
He wants to talk among thorns, briars, clouds and lightning, as Moses; and we want you to talk a whisper sweet and fresh, as did Elijah. But, what do you fear, my daughters? Listen to our Lord says to Abraham, and to you, "Fear not, I am your protector." Because what else on earth if you seek not God?

(March 8, 1918, the sisters Ventrella - Ep. III, p 576.)

Simplicity and humility are the hallmark of the true disciples of Jesus. It is true that these virtues are not the easiest to practice, moreover, the easiest to acquire, however opening the mind and heart are gradually becoming a way of life for those people that are practicing. It is necessary, therefore, to set aside our shortcomings and pay more attention to the virtues, knowing that they come from God and is the Spirit who strengthens them, however, ever turn our attention to our shortcomings only favors strengthening thereof. It is certainly necessary to be realistic, however, is neither good nor acceptable to God putting all the attention on that which often is only the fruit of our attention. The advantage of focusing our attention on the virtues in faults, is undeniably healthy acceptance thereof and therefore the put at the service of our brothers. Humility is recognizing that whatever good we do comes from God who gives us the grace to live it and practice it. Discovering because God always with us in the midst of the vicissitudes of life and let us realize that he is closer to us than ourselves, and that even in the midst of darkness and unease is there to console us, strengthen us, to love. In a word it is He who cares for us, protects us and delivers us from all evil. Trust him and he will act. Put your hands kindly blessed all the concerns of your heart and let him caress that is always attentive to your needs and find the beautiful, the beautiful, the grandiose and the sovereign God is with you.
