And if we can our blindness and weakness should it any time fall,,, we should quickly rise… and go at once to God in love; not on the one hand crawling abjectly as if we were in despair, nor, on the other, being over-bold as if we thought it did not matter.

The Lord said in a vision: Pray inwardly, even though you find no joy in it. For it does good, though you feel nothing, see nothing, yes, even though you think you cannot pray. For when you are dry and empty, sick and weak, your prayers please me, though there be little enough to please you. All believing prayer is precious to me.

A mother may sometimes let her child fall and suffer in various ways, so that it may learn by its mistakes. But she will never allow any real harm to come to the child because of her love. And though earthly mothers may not be able to prevent their children from dying, our heavenly mother Jesus will never let us, his children, see death.

God made everything that is made, and God loves everything that he made. The person who loves everything and everyone God made, loves God because God is in every person. God is in all things. The person who loves everything loves as God loves.
