You complain that your life is 'rough and rugged.' But
whatever we do is always like that. Where there are men, there are
passions, narrow-mindedness, selfishness, conceit. Thus it is all the
more necessary for us to maintain ourselves at a certain depth, to keep in mind
the all-embracing, final goal before us, to destroy in ourselves all that is
petty and trivial: then we shall find it easier to suffer with the faults of
others. O God, send us patience, generosity and meekness. We are
working, not for ourselves, but for God: and therefore all conflicts will
be settled, not through our own great efforts, but through God's wisdom.
