The Book of Life

The book of one's life has been written 
The paths he has to walk on have been traced
The goals to be achieved have been chosen
The time of completion of the events has been set.

One has just to:

Read carefully and understand the plot of his book
Walk on the indicated paths and never deviate from them
Help materialize each of the goals set according to his abilities
And
Finally, be ready to accept what may come without complaining

For

Our Lord has given to each of us what it takes to participate, constructively, in the becoming of the cosmic order. 

He neither coerces us nor allows us His divine plans to destroy. 

He has given us freedom, but He also has set 
inviolable universal laws to safeguard His creation 

Thus

Whoever oversteps these cosmic laws will face the 
consequences of his actions

In that case 

One has to know that God is not to be blamed!

Very aptly portrayed dearest Demetrios. The path we walk as indicated should not be deviated from. 'The Book of Life is the profoundly moving story of a journey of each individual from the moment entry is made to the time of completion. Inspiring words to be followed ....Maria xxx
