Quicken your steps!
Opportunity lies just around the corner.—Run after it!
Things do not just happen. You have to seek things.
Jesus once said:
"Ask and it shall be given you,
Seek and ye shall find,
Knock and it shall be opened unto you."
May I add just one word?
Do you know, girls and boys, the future of the Church is in your hands? We elders are going to drop out soon, and we want you to be ready to take our places.
Do you know, moreover, that you get to a very important age between twelve and sixteen?
You make great choices then. It is called the age of adolescence. You are flowering out; and around those ages the highest of all choices are made—The choice for God and a religious life.
As we grow older we get set, like plaster, and it is hard to change. But you are plaster, like clay, and are being formed now.
