My dear, A plan must be at the beginning of all work; reflection comes before every action. In all that you are to do, be sure to let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Do not turn to the left nor to the right but set your face like flint. Decisions are made under careful consideration; with many counsellors, they succeed. Plans fall through for lack of deliberation. I say, enter through the narrow gate; how narrow is the gate that leads to life and how rough the road! But fear not. Set your heart right and be steadfast and do not be hasty in time of calamity. Stay calm. Be of resolute mind. I confound the plans of the one who seeks destruction and bring to nothing his designs. I laugh in much derision. But my plan stands forever and my heart’s design through all generations. How could anything endure if I did not will it? And how could anything last that I had not willed? My dear daughter, focus on me. Focus on my Word. Keep my Word always before you. Nothing can separate you from my love. I have all of my children in my hand. They are preserved in my Holy Name. Blessed are you who take refuge in me. Take refuge in me. 11.04.24
