29 april: From dawn until dusk, people's everyday

lives consist of a continuous chain of activities and

preoccupations, which project them towards the

periphery of their being. This means that at the close

of day they realize they have forgotten what is most

important. How many times have you found yourself

in this situation? Well, in order to break the chain,

remember several times a day to stop and remain for

a few minutes in silence; an intense silence, however,

one that is alive, a silence in which your soul and

spirit are able to address the Creator. By regularly

exercising your faculty of concentration in this way

you will succeed in escaping, for a few moments at

least, the problems everyday life brings and this faculty

will remain an acquisition to be used whenever a

difficult moment arises. You will then realize how useful

it is to be able to release yourself completely from your

worries in order to direct your thought towards the

divine world.
