1 " (1) Recognize the darkness: Recognize the darkness of our littleness and brokenness. (2) Keep trying: Keep trying to grow in holiness and do little things with great love. (3) Keep trusting: Keep trusting and believing that God will satisfy our desires for holiness, even if we don’t yet fully understand how. "
― Michael E. Gaitley , 33 Days to Merciful Love: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat in Preparation for Divine Mercy Consecration
2 " Thérèse’s word in Letter 197 that “it is confidence and nothing but confidence that must lead us to Love. "
3 " It is not because God, in His anticipating Mercy, has preserved my soul from mortal sin that I go to Him with confidence and love. "
4 " Man, tempted by the devil, let his trust in his Creator die in his heart and, abusing his freedom, disobeyed God’s command. This is what man’s first sin consisted of. All subsequent sin would be disobedience toward God and lack of trust in his goodness.6 "
