Study it: with what willpower and courage it commands the snow and the earth, ‘Go on, get out of the way! I want to come up!’ And yet it is fragile, it has such tender, delicate petals, and the slightest thing can harm it. But the earth and the snow obey it, they make way for it, and it comes up and flowers.<br><br>How does it make the earth open up? It possesses an irresistible force within the tiny stem that is starting to come up, and so it prevails. Because love always prevails! So, what about you?

Everyone, young and old, must march in step with the renewal, there is no distinction between young and old. Have you ever heard a tree say, ‘Oh, for us old trees, you know, the time is over for flowering and freshening, we leave all that to the young ones’? No, in spring they too cover themselves with leaves and flowers.</div>\n<div style="text-align: justify;">Think of these things when spring comes, and remember to unite yourself to the Archangel Raphaël; ask him to reveal to you the secret powers of plants, seeds and flowers so that you may benefit from the virtues that emanate from them.”</div>\n<p style="text-align: right;"><a href="[P0209AN:url]" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Christmas and Easter in the initiatic tradition</a></p>\n<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="[P0209AN:url]" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Christmas and Easter in the initiatic tradition"><img style="border-width: 0px;" src="http://beta.prosveta.com/resources/sites/@site_id/images/themes/themePrint2017-pa209.jpg" alt="" width="683" height="366"></a></div>\n<table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="450">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style="text-align: center;" colspan="2">\n<p>[P0209AN:image|width=100]</p>\n</td>\n<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">[C0032AN:image|width=130]</td>\n<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">[P0216AN:image|width=100]</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<hr>\n<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="[themesmois_printemps2017a:url]"><br>| The 1st Day of Spring | </a><a href="[themesmois_ete2017a:url]">Meditation |</a> <a href="[themesmois_printemps2016a:url]">2016 Archives |</a><br><br></div>
