April 4th
Book Three, Chapter 57
That a Man Should not be too Much Dejected When he Falls into Some Defects

Patience and humility under adversity please Me more than much consolation and devotion in prosperity....All is not lost, though you feel yourself often afflicted or grievously tempted.  Man you are, and not God; you are flesh, not an angel.  How can you continue ever in the same state of virtue, when this was wanting to the angels in heaven, and to the first man in paradise?  I am He who raises up to safety them that mourn; and them that know their own infirmity I promote to My own divinity.
