Passage 31

In English

Man's life has become pathetically artificial

Similarly, the Mother of the Universe. will not weigh the quantity of (divine communion) that you have practised, or calculate the number of (repetition of sacred formulae) you have rolled on the rosary, or the time taken by you for of various kinds. She can be moved and Her Grace can be won by a genuine appeal emanating from the heart. Man is finding it increasingly difficult to call upon the Supreme Source of power and grace with such genuineness. His life has become pathetically artificial.
