"This is the path [trials] by which Jesus leads strong souls. Here you will learn the better to recognize your true homeland and to look on this life as a brief pilgrimage.

The desire to be in eternal peace is good and holy, but you must moderate this with complete resignation to divine will.

Let us do good; let us adhere to the will of God. Let this be the star on which we rest our gaze throughout this navigation because in that way we cannot but reach the right port."

-St.  Pio of Pietrelcina
