If someone understands, by the grace of God, what kind of life must lead to change from mortal to eternal, from foolish to wise, from earthly to divine, a clean understanding is needed to be used for a better life and for understanding not what is it, but what will be. What does not exist, will be. One must think in the visible world to the unseen world; one must strive to be in the earthly world as born from the celestial world and call for the grace of God. It is not possible to gain something, what was lost in Adam, through oneself, alone.

St. Columba
