“Somehow, by the trials and tribulations of this life, our souls must be purified of this dross of self if we are to become ultimately acceptable to God. For each of us, the trials will come in different ways and at different times—for some, self may be easier to overcome than for others—but we were created to do God’s will and not our own, to make our own wills conform to his and not vice versa.” (73)
