It Is Better To Die

Simplicity Is The Straightforwardness Of A Soul Which Refuses Itself Any Reaction With Regard To Itself Or Its Deeds. This Virtue Differs From And Surpasses Sincerity. We See Many People Who Are Sincere Without Being Simple. They Do Not Wish To Be Taken For Other Than What They Are; But They Are Always Fearing Lest They Should Be Taken For What They Are Not.

We Must Have Faith During The Period Of Our Grief. We Think That Our Afflictions Will Be Greater Than We Can Bear, But We Do Not Know The Strength Of Our Own Hearts, Nor The Power Of God. He Knows All. He Knows Every Folding Of The Heart And Also The Extent Of The Sorrow That He Inflicts. What We Think Will Overwhelm Us Entirely Only Subdues And Conquers Our Pride. Our Renewed Spirit Rises From Its Subjugation With A Celestial Strength And Consolation.
