An Encouraging Poem

[Ivy]

"You find yourself praising the Lord,
but at the same time knowing deep sadness of soul.
Many turn back at this point because they have no idea
of how to help themselves....

"Be not troubled, but hope in the Lord.
For if you desire to do the will of the Lord,
if you pray and hope in the Lord
and do what you can for yourself
God will bring about in your soul
all that you desire.
It is very, very important that our weak nature
should have great confidence,
and not be dismayed.
We should think that if we do our best,
we will be victorious."

-St. Teresa of Avila
