Starting today, you have to lead the church. One billion people, one fifth of the world's population. One billion people will depend on what you say and do. They'll make important decisions, happy or sad, or life or death, in order to obey you, in the name of God. All of this creates a new perspective, an immense perspective. Now, your personal aches, your enormous sufferings, they must take a back seat. They are things of this earth. I know all your sorrows, I lived with them together with you, I've wept over them with you, but now the time has come for you to let your sorrows to fade, to become irrelevant, distant memories, insignificant, vanquished, destroyed and overpowered by the terrible responsibility that God has given you.
