Do you have a spiritual point that seems to help you? Would you share it with us? Here is one of mine (that I forget often).

James 1:19
Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,…
 
Matthew 6

14 For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences. 15 But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
 
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NRSVCE)
5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own insight.
6
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
 
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us: but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 St. John 1.8-9 (KJV)

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)
 
So far some very nice points.

Here is one that is soothing when I pray for my deceased family and friends.

Lk 20:39-40, Jesus said, “Now he is a God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive.”
 
“Don’t philosophise over your defects.”
  • St. Padre Pio
Instead, look at Jesus, Whose tender countenance is a constant reminder that He is plentiful in mercy to all who call upon Him (an effect of grace). Such confidence prevents us from much sin and misery, and it honours the Divine Mercy.
