“The questions we need to ask ourselves are these: where are we going? How are we doing it? What will happen to Yousef? No one knows. No one can predict the future but we know that we have a choice to make: either we put our will, with faith, in the hands of the Lord until we reach, like Yousef, the goal, according to the will of the Lord, or we choose the path of laziness, fatigue, despair and pessimism. Yousef chose hope, faith, love and the will of our Lord. The strength of faith and the will of man are what moves mountains, as Jesus Christ taught us. Glory be to the Father!”
