All the saints have passed through the “dark valley”, sometimes they seem to have lost hope, but they don't give up. Don't give up, don't back down, keep going. Prayer needs patience, it needs courage; don't fight alone, for fear of losing, but call upon the peoples of heaven, to strengthen and support especially the Holy Spirit and our Guardian Angels... Catechesis on Distraction, aridity and acedia with P. Rabenirina Joseph.
