"We
have to be strong and patient and, therefore, calm and composed, but
not with the composure of the man who buys his own tranquillity at the
expense of ignoring his brothers or neglecting the great task (which
falls to us all) of tirelessly spreading good throughout the world. We
can keep calm because there is always forgiveness and because there is a
solution for everything, except death; and for the children of God,
death is life. We must try to keep our peace, even if only so as to act
intelligently, since the man who remains calm is able to think, to study
the pros and cons, to examine judiciously the outcome of the actions he
is about to undertake. He then plays his part calmly and decisively."
