My New Year wishes to each of you are as follows: Whatever happens, do not let yourself be discouraged. Do not close your eyes to reality, no matter how harsh it may be. Courage of spirit and unconditional love for the truth are the mother of all virtues—and there is no love for the truth when, thinking you already possess it, you stop seeking it. Ask God above all to preserve the light of your conscience and the humility to recognize the truth when it appears and is different from what you expected. Leave the rest in His hands. In this way, you will cross the year victoriously, even if everything around you is defeat and sorrow.
