一個人如果熱誠地懇求，就會有所進步

一個人如果有好的意向，並熱誠地懇求，就會有所進步。度過的時光不會白白流逝……你會發現自己在德行、耐心、與主的共融，以及各種德行都更加進步。(APD56, 65)

If on one side there is good will and, on the other, there is the demand, the prayer, the supplication, one will go ahead, the years will not be useless, they will not have passed in vain… you will find yourselves progressing in virtue, in union with God, in patience, in all the other virtues (APD56, 65).
