"No matter what the situation, with strong, earnest prayer we can achieve a breakthrough. Faith in the Mystic Law enables us to make the impossible possible. That's why we must never stop moving forwards in faith. We can definitely change all poison into medicine. Let's press ahead with fortitude, wisdom, and optimism. "As if performing a spirited dance, let's write a triumphant history brimming with joy."
