"To serve God we are not called to choose self-denial or sacrifice, rather are we called to fulfill God’s purpose. The basic principle is not to choose the cross but to obey God’s will.

"Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending.
You plan a tower that will
pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility."
