991-999, Perseverance.

Shake off vain fancies & rise free, respond to grace & feel deep joy, stop looking for reasons to abandon task, work from self-denying Love even when enthusiasm gone, be Unshakable, deprivation of consolations are just trials on your way, Mass/ prayer/ sacraments/ sacrifices/ Communion - these are your weapons to conquer trial, much fruit from persevering like donkey on water-wheel, secret = Love - fall in love.  --- from The Way (1934), by Josemaría Escrivá
