Think of God, and remember to thank Him for life's talents.

If you feel tired, think about Him, the eternal Father who never rests. As Jesus Himself taught us, the Father works constantly.

If you feel sad, elevate your thoughts to God, meditating on the solar happiness through which, every morning, the Infinite Goodness of our Father dissolves the darkness, announcing a new day of opportunities.

If you are sick, think about how God, in His compassion and equilibrium, rearranges nature's pictures. Think about how after the storm that uproots centenaries trees and destroys mountains, everything calms down, and the whole landscape settles down again.

If you feel misunderstood, still search for God. He, the Eternal Donator of blessings, is misunderstood by the ones He created and still sustains. Even though, His patience is infinite and He does not get discouraged, waiting for us to give up our imperfections.

If you feel humiliated, deliver to God the pain of your wounded sensibility and your despised pride, pondering about the anonymity of He who veils His huge greatness, serving us everyday.

If you feel alone, search for the sublime friendship of God in the ones that come behind you, swaying alone in pain.

The ones who are lonelier than you, who finds themselves in a more difficult situation than yours. Look for the ones who face misery all the time, the ones that need your help to kill their thirst, hunger, to ease their pain.

Get out of yourself and look for them. They are in the shanty towns, on the squares, in the hospitals, in old people's houses, in prisons. Maybe, they are next to you, the relatives who expect a gesture of tenderness, a friendly word, a little bit of attention.

If you are afflicted, trust in God all your anxieties. Speak to Him about everything that is in your intimacy and in Him, who is Love, all your torments will calm down.

At last, it does not matter what difficulty you are going through, recall the Merciful One who never forgets us.

In prayer, you will find the strength to stand up and get over any problems, small or big, that are afflicting you.

In prayer, which is a path of light, no strength will lack you to face one more day with courage, happiness and high spirits, because after all, there never was and there never will be a day like today.

During your lifetime, help others as much as you can. Do goodness, no matter whom to.

Imagine that you are a farmer and other people around you are a field. You plant and the others produce. You are the granary, and the others are the clients.

If you desire to follow God, think that between you and Him there is the other, who is the bridge.

The Creator attends creatures through creatures.

That is why we must live and serve.
