" For us, pain means the possibility of enriching the soul; struggle is a way towards divine realization. Do you understand the difference? Weak souls remain inactive when faced with work, and they complain to anyone who will listen. Strong souls, however, accept labor as a sacred heritage, with which they prepare themselves on the path towards perfection. "

― Francisco Cândido Xavier , Nosso Lar (A Vida no Mundo Espiritual, #1) (Série André Luiz, #1)
