It is the soul disposition that enables us to face anything…

As the saying goes “hope is the last thing to die” and confidence is nothing more than radical hope. The great Thomas Aquinas’ definition is very succinct, “Confidence is a hope fortified by solid conviction.”

The great tool to gain such solid conviction is essentially prayer and especially the daily Rosary, which Our Lady requested of us at Fatima.

This is a short but inspiring booklet about Confidence.

It showcases three extraordinary miracles of confidence, the first of which is the incredible story of St Peter Armengol, who hung by his neck for six days - sustained by the hands of Our Lady until his rescue...

A most incredible intervention of Divine Providence for a soul who had the utmost Faith and Confidence in his deliverance! By the grace of God, may we never be called upon to manifest this level of confidence! But a profound nurturing of this magnificent virtue will certainly aid us in the path of holiness.

The second is the story of the image of Our Lady of Confidence which originated in Italy, and which has profound promises attached to the devotion.

The third and final tale tells of the miraculous discovery of the statue of Our Lady of Almudena, in Spain, after three hundred years of concealment.

“The greater and more persistent your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive all that you ask,” said Saint Albert the Great.
