"I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow." -- Jeremiah 31:13
The LORD upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down (Psalms 145:14). From oppression and violence he redeems their life; and precious is their blood in his sight (Psalms 72:14).
Remember, that the devil has only one door by which to enter the soul: the will. There are secret or hidden doors. Temptations, discouragement, and unrest are the wares offered by the enemy. Remember this: if the devil makes noise, it is a sign that he is still outside and not yet within. That which must terrify us is his peace and concord within the human soul (Saint Pio of Pietrelcina)
