If ever you find yourself virtually or literally in the middle of a room with enemies encircled around you, and not a single friend in sight, remember with the eyes of FAITH, that your camp is stronger. Even if you see not a single soul to defend you, do not be afraid. Do not wonder who is on your side and who is not. Only know, that if you have made yourself ready by being on the side of (the one, true) GOD, through the prayers of the holiest of all Creatures made by God (for Jesus was begotten, not made, and his Mother is the holiest of all Christians, even of the holiness of all other saints combined), you are on the winning side. Your case will be defended, and your battle will be won. You are not alone.
Through prayers of the Blessed Mother to her Son, and by His actions, you will win. Battle, then, against the temptation to allow the clamor of the enemy to propose constantly his false dialectic, whom should you trust and to whom you should keep close. Keep God and the Blessed Mother close! Focus on building this alliance. Yes, in this life, it helps to have alliances in the natural order of things, but trust that those who are true friends of the Blessed Mother, in holy obedience to Truth Incarnate, whether or not they are put in your path, are praying and sacrificing for you, for anyone who is a son or daughter of this Queen, they recognize their spiritual affiliation.
You have an affiliation of helpers both seen and, more over, unseen, in this life and already in Heaven. They happily suffer with you and for you, as they, too, know how this war ends in victory. You, who are sometimes broken hearted by the battles in this life, do not suffer alone. In the same way, your suffering should be joined to the sufferings of the Blessed Mother and to her Son, so that it wins victories on behalf of other souls yet to be entrusted to them.
Remember Christ's birth; be led by the Light out of the darkness of sorrows and find again, the True Light. Let the Child rest in your heart and soul. He desires to rest there.
May you bring that Light to others.

On a personal note: Please pray for those who have recently lost loved ones, and for the priests and religious who are suffering from persecution, sometimes appearing to be tested from every side.
