[0:00] Stop hating this school of dependence
[0:03] that God has put you through and embrace
[0:05] it because he's teaching you how to
[0:07] depend on him
[0:09] for every breath that you take for you
[0:11] and I
[0:12] to be servants for one another.
[0:15] through love
[0:16] and to order every dimension of the
[0:18] human life towards God.
[0:19] And when we once grasp that, our life
[0:22] tends to change dramatically. This is
[0:23] what we call conversion. Our hearts are
[0:26] converted, we embrace our cross, and we
[0:29] rejoice in our sufferings.
