The sacrifice that every person has to impose upon himself is to lead a life of justice, the fulfillment of his duties in life and the observance of My Law. This is the penance that I now seek and require. I also require that this way be made known to souls. For many thinking that the word penance means great austerities and not feeling thsemvles the strength or generosity for these, lose heart and rest in a life of lukewarmness and sin. Jesus to Sr. Lucy (Lucia dos Santos) in 1929.
