18 September 1913

A fierce temptation during Mass and thanksgiving to break my resolution and indulge my appetite at breakfast. The thought of a breakfast of dry bread and tea without sugar in future seemed intolerable. Jesus urged me to pray for strength though i could scarcely bring myself to do so. But the temptation left me in the refectory, and joy filled my heart with the victory. I see now that i need never yield if only I pray for strength.

    The above passage shows us the power of grace…
    Father Doyle, please pray that we always do our best to use the graces God sends to us, for His greater glory and for our own sanctification. This is our participation in helping to bring His Kingdom into my heart and the hearts of others.
