In youth, one envisions achieving much higher goals in life than the one to which God calls them. The real danger, however, is not fulfilling even the life mission set by God. Therefore, nothing is as important for the life of the soul as persistence and trust. Let us not doubt that the rosebush will bring roses - after all, it was created as a rosebush. Time can sometimes be a heavy burden, yet it is always God's servant and helps especially those who walk on God's paths.
(Father Jeroným /1907–1985/, monk of the Trappist monastery in Sept-Fons,
