"We require in our life both personal effort and Divine Guidance. Nothing can be achieved simply by personal effort, we also require Divine Mercy. But simply Divine Mercy is not enough, we require the strength and courage to receive it. Just as a bird cannot fly without both wings, so also a man cannot attain success in spiritual life without personal endeavour and Divinity."
