"The harder the winter, the greater the Spring." Without difficulties and efforts, no veritable spiritual growth would be possible.

"Since we are all the heirs of our celestial Father and His splendor, His power, His light, this means that we are all in fact princes and princesses. So, why is it that our lives on earth are sometimes so difficult?... We sometimes meet very beautiful souls, souls that are truly princes and princesses, but they are here as beggars, condemned to live in deplorable conditions. Why is this so?... There is always a reason. This is sometimes the case because they have karmic debts to repay, mistakes from past incarnations to repair, and this is why divine justice has placed them in such conditions. But often, there are other reasons, because the goal of cosmic Intelligence is always to push us in the way of betterment, of spiritual evolution, and that requires that we face trials. Yes, only certain trials can teach us new things, can strenghten us, better us ; and it is thanks to them that we will someday be able to assume our divine heritage."
