Discouragement

Let us never become discouraged over troubles, never let ourselves be dominaed by discouragement. Life is brief. What is even a hundred years compared to eternity? We must completely detach ourselves from this earth in which we are exiles.

Let us recommend ourselves to the Blessed Mother that she may keep her holy hand upon our head always. Let us make this pact with Her: that she may come to us when we are on our deathbed and carry us up into Heaven.
