The fifth day of the novena to Mary Help of Christians.
"I'm glad to be forgotten by everyone, but you!" Mary Mazzarello's words to God, after her debilitating typhus illness which leaves her physically weak and incapable of hard manual labour, which she earlier excelled at. All of this due to her willingness to go and help her uncle's family at a time when all of them are bed ridden by the illness.
The courage to take up risks and when no longer able to do all that what one was capable of, be eager to do what one still can.
