"Yes, my heart’s dear one, Jesus, is here
with His cross. Since you are
one of His favorites, he wants to make you
into His likeness; why be
afraid that you will not have the strength to
carry this cross without a
struggle?
On the way to Calvary, Jesus did indeed fall
three times and you, poor
little child, would like to be different from
your spouse, would rather not
fall a hundred times if necessary to prove
your love to Him by
getting back up with even more strength than
before your fall!"
