Yes, my child, we tell this often enough to you: gain in stature, and don't let yourself be affected all the time by what occurs around you. Attach relative importance to events. Spare yourself and don't fritter away your energies on worthless things. With you also, you see, we must repeat ourselves. Don't dwell on this kind of consideration concerning our messages. We have told you this enough: reverting to the same topics is necessary; you can judge it from what concerns you. How much of our advice is put into practice, in relation to the amount of what we have given? Man is made like that, he thinks and he forgets. He has to be placed in a similar situation so that this experiment ends up raising his awareness on his weaknesses. It is not easy to mend one's ways. It requires ceaseless efforts; easiness is so convenient. Nobody's life is simple; sooner or later, tests arise and it is advisable to face up to them. In such circumstances, it is helpful to persevere for a long time in observing one's weaknesses. Strength of character allows one to overcome them [weaknesses], when it is reinforced by faith. Having faith is the best thing for a human being; it is a precious bastion against despair. A faithless life is direly devoid of resources. You who have this luck, you should appreciate having such a recourse, which gives to your life its full meaning."
