Even on other planes you will have to put yourself to the limit. Service never ends. Your requests have been heard, you were chosen, and therefore you have to come to terms with it. This is where we all stand, and it is real happiness; it is the same for you, we know it.

"Is there anything more important than being in the service of the Creator? We are only particles in motion carried by the power of His action. Being a seeker is to contribute one's own free will to this ceaseless activity that is part of the universal flow. Being a millstone for this great plan slows down the evolution considerably.

"Consider the vagaries of life as unimportant incidents. What will they represent tomorrow or in ten years?

"Be happy to be what you are and where you are. Be thankful for all the graces you receive, see only this very aspect of things."

The Venerable
