Be not afraid, little soul, when you encounter how miserable and infinitesimal you really are.
Be not afraid, little soul, when you shriek for mercy at the tiniest prick of suffering.
Be not afraid, little soul, when you encounter joy and love, that you will not gain heaven.
Let God sanctify you. He does not save you from falling? Trust in Him. He has died that you may be His spotless bride. He does not give you the strength to carry great burdens? He does not send you great sufferings? Trust in Him. He has created you to suffer as He needs you to suffer in order to sanctify you.
Offer your everything to Him: your joy, your sorrow, your ho-hums, your successes, your horrible failures, your mediocrity. He is your Creator. He is your Savior. He is your Lover. He will bring you to Himself.
