The purpose of these messages is to touch the hearts of our brothers, and not to garner literature awards. It is important, also, to diversify the topics every day in order to attract their attention. Modern life stimulates the senses way too much, to the detriment of contemplation. It is good to act with this in mind, and not dwell too long on the same topic.

"Lengthy comments cannot draw the attention of most people. We must, while adjusting to today's world, see to it by proposing different subjects and, especially, those capable of raising their awareness.

"If one sentence manages to touch them, the objective is reached. Contemporary filmmakers understand it well: they design a scenario with short sequences, preferably varied. By so doing, they succeed in maintaining the interest of their audience.

"Holding the attention of our brothers is no small task; we must adapt to this situation and act accordingly. Solitude and asceticism are not within reach of the greatest number.

"Our way is making progress, in this confused beginning of a century, by trying to help the greatest number of these beings, many of whom are suffering – whether it shows or not. Life on Earth is accelerating; it is necessary to go always faster and further and surpass oneself in most areas. Spiritual life must offer a place of contemplation while adjusting to the realities of the times.

--Reflections

"It is sad to see these men and women grappling with the turmoil of this material world. We are trying to open up other perspectives for them. May the reading of one message per day, or more, in their sequential order, be within their reach and become a kind of ritual.

"We are working so that life on Earth becomes more in harmony with true human nature, which is currently troubled by excessive materialism."
