…….I had asked for God’s help but had really believed in my ability to avoid evil and to meet every challenge. . .I had been thanking God all the while that I was not like the rest of men. . . .

This power is available to all; it can transform man’s weaknesses, limitations and his sufferings” …..Fr. Walter Ciszek
