Prayer: Maximillian Kolbe
You must be prepared for periods of darkness, anxiety, doubts, fears, or temptations that are sometimes very, very insistent, of sufferings of the body and, what is a hundredfold more painful, of the soul. For if there were nothing to bear, for what would you go to heaven? If there were no trials, there would be no struggle. Without a struggle, victory would be impossible, and without victory, there is no crown, no reward… So, be prepared from now for everything.
