To resist temptation to sin,
a soul must first be tested;
to conquer The Enemy,
there must be many trials.

Do not fear what is coming,
be afraid of one thing;
that you might not pass.

This will drive you to prepare,
if you but commit to the work;
purification of the soul in Christ.

The greater the struggles,
the stronger the soul becomes;
and the greater will be your victory.

Those who wish to pass through fire,
must go each day through Mary;
for she is a shield against Satan.

The walk is before you,
you must traverse it on your own;
but know that God is with you.

Stumbling is not to be feared,
for God's mercy shall raise you;
do not be afraid to fall,
be fearful of falling into dormancy.

Do not run,
do not desire the flag of victory;
but take each step with great care,
for it is love which conquers evil,
so do all things with love.
