The Virgin (and I'm not speaking here of a sexual virgin) is the one whose search springs from her complete independence, and everything she learns is the fruit of her ability to face challenges alone.

A person who goes in search of God is wasting his time. he can walk a thousand roads and join many religions and sects- but he'll never find God that way. God is here, right now, at our side. In order to find God, you have to only to look around.

Attacking or fleeing are part of the struggle; being paralysed by fear is not.

Miracles occur all around us, signs from God show us the way, angels plead to be heard, but we pay little attention to them.

The landscape changes, so enjoy it: of course, you have to have an objective in mind - to reach the top. But as you are going up, more things can be seen, and it's no bother to stop now and again and enjoy the panorama around you. At every meter conquered, you can see a little further, so use this to discover things that you still had not noticed.

When you cease doubting, you have stopped moving forward.

Courage. By beginning the journey with that word and continuing with faith in God, you will arrive wherever you need to arrive.
