God has loved man. This is the sublime truth which alone provides an explanation for the mystery of the Christian life, and which gives to the faithful the courage necessary to carry on here on earth in all the obscurity, monotony, and difficulty of life. We must have faith in this love, and, believing in it, we must put our trust in God, whatever may be the difficulties of the road we have to travel. It is always easier to travel on through the night when we know that there is someone waiting for us, that there is someone who loves us.
