Life isn't always easy. It can become so difficult, in fact, that we may be

tempted toward hopelessness. But bear in mind that hopelessness is, at its

absolute, a denial of the power of God. Pain and aridiity may be a burning

away of Earthly wants to clear the inner path toward better. Appeal to

St. Jude with sincerity and action, and he will help you persevere.
