... He, Who has entrusted them with such a great mission to
the world, is waiting and patiently waiting for them that labour in His Divine
Vineyard to turn their hearts in prayer and supplication to the Almighty and
seek that aid and guidance that can alone enable them to carry out His Divine
Plan for this world.
