Faith does not exempt us from suffering the vicissitudes of existence, but it helps us go through them with gallantry and relative peace, despite the conflicts.
Here is a paradox. Although the turmoil of purgatory around pierces our souls and, in a way, afflicts us, we can find peace by remaining active in the search for solutions and trusting in the Divine Providence.
Just as Jesus, in the Christic Plane, faced the Passion, all human beings, especially martyrs, saints and mediums, equally carry their cross, in different ways and to varying degrees.
It is an archetypal, mythical, mystical experience. The forces of evil exist and oppose those of the good. It is up to each creature to use the energy that flows between the two poles, channeling it in a constructive, resolute, altruistic way.

The reluctance to do what unites a sense of conscientious duty with the intuition of existential purpose constitutes resistance to the Will of God for you and, consequently, your self-condemnation to a path of disasters, frustrations and unhappiness.
There is no reason that justifies fleeing from your fundamental reason for living: to serve God, in the person of your brothers and sisters in humanity,
by making use of your inner aptitudes, external resources and the opportunities for fulfillment that come in your path.
Only along the trails of goodwill, solidarity and idealism, in consonance with the inner voice that nurtures in you the spirit of usefulness to the common good, will you attain happiness, peace and even mental sanity, in the fullest and deepest sense of the expression.
