Do not worry if your heart reacts with repugnance and disinclination to this sacrifice. All the power of this sacrifice is lodged in the will, so not only do contrary emotions not reduce its value in My eyes, but they positively enhance it. Know that your body and soul will often be put to an ordeal by fire. Though at certain times, you may not feel My presence, I shall be by your side. Fear not, My grace shall be with you… (Diary 1767).
