Life is a gift; it should be appreciated until the end. It is an opportunity bestowed on a human being to enable him to advance. If it is well understood in that sense, it is the best means at his disposal and his evolution must go through this repetitive cycle. What you are doing and will be doing can raise you to the heights.

"Your destiny is all set in advance, but your free will can make you take byways, and sometimes, even, it can mislead you. Your having a good guide must spare you from this kind of pitfall.

"Tests are to be taken as blessings. This is not easy to admit and to live – in terms of considering that tests are like that. The way to saintliness is long and testing in every respect. It cannot be followed by all.

"Each one reacts differently and does what they can. God is great and his mercy is infinite. He knows the weaknesses of humans and helps lift up a man fallen on the ground who beseeches His help."
