On the way, I thought about the formation program for postulants. First of all, let us teach them to smile: at God, at trials, at unpleasant people, at everyone who needs joy... That is a good recipe for thinking about others, and not about oneself... Then let us teach them to clear away: to remove all complexities, all states of soul... to empty..., to empty..., to empty... Only then will God's love come to fill everything and overflow.
