Indefinable vague yearnings prevent you from tasting the mystical joys offered to you, as is proper. Drive away the undesirable and see only beauty; the future will take place in due time. Leave it its mystery, you cannot change it. Let yourself be carried by the waves of love raising you in these moments when your heart ignores all the rest. Do not sink any more into melancholy. Will you? Think of your Master, his difficult career, and which is yet so beautiful that we all here are happy for him. This stay here below is not easy for you either; your careers are different but they are not characterized by easiness.

"Commitment, faithfulness to a cause, and perseverance are such that in your respective ways and out of love for us, serving remains your priority. Without these essential features, no mission is feasible whatsoever. Love is the key; it is the ideal driving force, it alone manages to work miracles. The world, in spite of its darkness, comprises nevertheless many points of light: beings devoted to divine service, to love which it generates, to the beauty of the soul—that is not an empty word. In short, it is comforting to see beings living on this Earth struggling to completely offer themselves to the divine powers to help their fellow creatures, by venerating their Master.

"May joy remain in the hearts, in spite of everything; this incarnation is momentary, it prepares the future. May our brothers not forget it and be fully committed in the way they chose."
