My dear daughter, never lose heart; the way is long and difficult, but it is rewarding. As you have known for a long time, ordeals are necessary in all lives.

"All that lives on this Earth is subjected to the same rules; that is the rule of law. Various kingdoms, mineral, plant and animal, have to suffer, fight to ensure their survival, just like any being living on this Earth. This planet is a place of passage and no one can escape the rules which characterise it. One should try to do his best with everything at his disposal. Everybody's route is different. How to go about it? What is the best pathway to manage it and ensure that it is successful? It is up to you to find the answers.

"The purebred on the racecourse must give its best to make up for its own handicap and be well placed on the finishing line. You are not a racehorse, you will say; it is an image. Every one of you has your own challenge, which is not the least. You make every effort to be in a good position and to succeed in your test. Even though they let up sometimes, your efforts are taken up again with redoubled ardour; you have an ideal which prompts you to act. Faith, this is the driving force which gives a meaning to your life, it lends credibility to it; to have it is a grace which lights up and transforms the most ordinary life."
