OUR PATH 1961
To walk on the path you must have a dauntless intrepidity, you must never turn back upon yourself with this mean, petty, weak, ugly movement that fear is.
An indomitable courage, a perfect sincerity, a total self-giving to the extent that you do not calculate or bargain, you do not give with the idea of receiving, you do not offer yourself with the intention of being protected, you do not have a faith that needs proofs, – this is indispensable for advancing on the path, – this alone can shelter you against all dangers.

21 February 1971
A life consecrated to union with the Divine is the only life worth living.

The more we advance on the way, the more the need of the Divine Presence becomes imperative and indispensable.
