Greatness of the spirit of the Work

As you see, my dearest daughters and sons, when we consider these things, which are characteristic of our spirit, within the overall setting of our divine filiation, it opens up broad horizons for our apostolate.

You should be very grateful to God for having given us this spirituality, which is simply and sincerely supernatural, at the same time so human, so close to noble earthly tasks. It is a very special grace – God’s light, as I said – which we have received through his mercy, and which we must pass on to many other souls in humble fidelity.

Incomprehension

But bear in mind that this spirituality and asceticism have often meant, and mean, that your Father and some of your brothers have had to endure incomprehension, and to hear one of God’s pathways branded as madness and even heresy, and those who follow it labelled madmen and heretics.
