Humble yourselves. Do not think highly and you will attain high things. The more gold is tested in the fire, the purer it becomes. And the Christian, the more he is tried by temptations, the more his soul is purified. The more deeply the plow tills the earth, the more often we prune and carefully tend the vines, the more and the sweetest fruit we will receive.
