Practical Devotion of the Day: Getting God's Help

Is essential. What would we be without God? What good would we do without the help of his grace? With our strength we would only commit sins, falling from abyss to abyss, to hell ... In vain, says David, we try to build the house of virtue, holiness, heaven, without God ... If He helps us, in a short time we will be saints ... Are we practically persuaded of this truth? Be wary of you, but unlimited trust in God.

It's easy to get it. Who has God denied it to? Just ask. He granted it to Magdalene, to the repentant thief, to Pietro perjury, to those who invoked him. He granted it to many millions of Martyrs, indeed, to all the Saints who already obtained the palm: can we doubt that he wants to deny it to us, even if cold and miserable? Do you believe that God will abandon you if you are not the first to abandon him?

We insist on asking. Jesus tells us: to Beat, return to beat; in my Name you will obtain everything “. How many are discouraged because they are not promptly answered… Therefore, to humiliate them, the Lord allows some of their falls!… To pass the new year well, let us ask for the almighty help of God, and we insist with firm confidence to obtain it.

PRACTICE. - Recite the Veni Creator, or a Pater, Ave and Gloria to the Holy Spirit, and say often: Deus, in adiutorium meum intends, Lord, come quickly to my help.
