2125 The path to eternal home with God.... prayer....

October 24, 1941: Book 30

The path to the eternal home is long for the one who does not walk it with God, for he goes so many wrong ways before he reaches the path that leads upwards, and the time of his walk on earth has been in vain if the goal was not the eternal home. To walk with God means to have a guide who directs every step and to whom a person can completely entrust himself. And then he can go his way without worrying, he will not go astray, even if the path is sometimes arduous and seems difficult to pass. God protects him so that he does not stumble; He takes him by the hand and leads him over rocks and stones, through thorns and undergrowth, again and again onto the right path that leads safely to the goal. And this path is short, as long as man walks with his eyes turned upwards, as long as he walks with God....

Let every person's preface be:

(Lord, be with me and guide me.... do not let me take a single step alone.... lord, let me always recognize you, let me always be your protégé.... stay close to me in every need and take care of me.... help me to pray fervently to you, my faithful God.... grant me grace and the strength of faith and a pure mind at all times and turn my gaze to you, to my eternal home.... )

Amen
