My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore it with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate Mother St. Joseph, my father, and Lord,

my guardian angel, and deceitful.

The topic of our

conversation with our

Lord is

a phrase

that was written by St.

Jose Maria, at least there's an instruction writing of his,

of basically evangelizing the world,

vis-a-vis married people in the middle of the world, and he speaks about realistic optimism.

That realistic optimism is rooted in the fact that God loves us.

And we could embellish on St. Paul's admonition to those early Christians who had a hard life to put it very mildly.

They certainly complicated their lives by becoming Christian in that hostile environment.

And he made it clear in Romans 828, all things work out for the best for those who love God.

And the summary of that phrase in Latin, it's St. José Maria says,

Omnambonum, that was one of his mottoes.

Omnambonum means it's taken from that verse.

All things work out for those who love God.

And so we need to be optimistic.
