The Just

I am reading a book titled "The Sinner's Guide" - very apropo for me. It was written by Venerable Louis of Granada who was born in 1504 and died in 1588. In it we are told that the just "...have God's fatherly providence to guide them; the grace of the Holy Spirit to enlighten and encourage them; the sacrament to sanctify them; the divine consolations to refresh them; the example of the pious to animate them; the writings of the saints to instruct them; the testimony of a good conscience to comfort them; the hope of future glory to sustain them, besides the numerous other favors which the virtuous enjoy." It's a consolation to know that through deep prayer and obedience to the Father I will have these consolations.
God bless all!!
