Being strong and able to face the challenges that come our way, is good. We are in a state of grace and able to respond to the inspirations that God sends us. In a way, we can feel on top of the World!
However, when we are feeling weak and unable to respond to grace, we are left in a state of weakness. What might have seemed easy at one time, now becomes a challenge for us. We need help.
Being weak does not agree with our natural state and so, we can feel discouraged. All the positive things we were able to do before, now seem impossible. Our spirits are low, yet deep within we realize that it may simply be a natural state. We need a rest, or a walk near the sea. What is most important is to give no attention to how we feel.
Feelings take us UP and DOWN. Some days we are able to do the most heroic actions. Next day, we are like a child who needs a mother to guide and help us.
This is the most positive side to being WEAK. We can simply ask our blessed Mother Mary, to help us. She doesn't need to be asked twice. As soon as we know and confirm our state of weakness, Mary will be beside us, helping us to be the best that we can be.
When we are WEAK, then we are STRONG, because the whole of Heaven and especially our blessed Mother will come to our aid. We just have to acknowledge how weak we are and have the courage and good sense to ask for help!
