“I am Saint Bernadette. Courage comes in many forms, for many reasons, in many ways. Sometimes courage is preceded by fear, concern, doubt, embarrassment, and/or a moral strength beyond what mankind could describe.

At the time The Holy Family walked the earth, it took much courage to stand in the midst of mankind. In those days there were many evil people, as there are now in your time. The good was approximately to the same degree that you are surrounded by today.

A child is taught courage with the first step he or she takes, and of course, there are many other times in the beginning years that a child learns courage is necessary for survival.

Children who are taught to pray have an advantage in many ways, because prayer develops courage, and always presents encouragement to stand strong, firm, and be comfortable with decisions that are right for the purpose, the time, or the way.

As I dictate These Words today, They are being written for others to read, to gain strength from, but there are many times We speak through this little one on a one-to-one basis with others, who do not know the value of What is being spoken to them because they are only aware of the circumstances, her presence, and the presence of others who may be there.

Sometimes there are Several of Us present, and We are putting the Words her way, for there is no time she is without Us, because you see, This Miracle of Divine Love is for the whole world, and so many times We are totally involved in her Conversations in so many places and in so many ways, regarding so many subjects. This might be difficult for some to understand, but nevertheless, it is Truth, and it is God’s Way.

Courage is oftentimes expressed and practiced when you tell someone of This Great Miracle, because you anticipate their rejection or their lack of belief. Never allow this to distract you from your role, because you see, your Soul is involved in this act of association with others you meet and/or you know, and your Soul is fully aware of the Soul of the other individual, or individuals with whom you are expressing your ideas, intentions, actions or interest.

So much has been delivered so rapidly so many times, because in so many areas of life, time is so important to your Soul, or the Soul of someone you know, you are with, or you are going to see.

I say openly, ‘Courage comes quickly when you practice it often.’ So be it.”
