My little son, you have the heart of a true shepherd, though you have grown weary under the increase of trials. Come to me always. Seek my heart in silence. You are always within the plans of my providence. See, but a little while and I will strengthen you for the work that remains. Take the staff in your hand and grip it firmly. Do not hesitate to speak the truth, though many will not understand. Do not fear, little one, for I am with you always.
