I want my children to persevere until the end. Then, I can greet them and welcome them into their heavenly home. What good is it to begin a journey, to make all the preparations and all the effort (even for years) and not arrive where joy and celebrating take place? This is why I speak, why I give these daily words. My children need daily words so they persevere until the end. Yes, I will speak every day and they must look for my words. Let us begin.

The burdens are too great. That is the problem. The commitments and the entanglements are too complicated. To persevere to the end modern man must simplify his life and cut the many strings that bind him.

Let each of my children look at their life and ask this one question, “How did I get entangled in all of these obligations? Let them go from there. Let them cut away what is so evidently useless. Regain your life.

Mankind has heard too many voices. Gone down too many roads. Reached for too many pleasures. Yes, life is filled with so many pleasures, so many things to distract and entertain. Each of these entails time and money and more complications.

Man must say “Enough! I must stop. I must slow down. I must gain control of my life. I have a long way to go. I cannot keep up this pace.” How happy he will be when those decisions are made and he has chosen a different course. Then he can feed his inner life, his spirit that is thirsting within. He can deepen his relationships with those who accompany him on his journey.

This is the secret to persevere to the end – carry little baggage and walk with others in deep love.
