In speaking to her disciples, she said: \u201cDon\u2019t be satisfied with little things because He, God, wants great things\u201d.  This is what I want to tell you: gen, young people, don\u2019t be satisfied with crumbs. You have only one life, aim high, don\u2019t be satisfied with little joys, seek the great ones, seek the fullness of joy.  You might ask me: \u201cBut where can we find it, Chiara?\u201d All right, I\u2019ll conclude my conversation with you by speaking again of Jesus.  He said that those who live unity will have the fullness of joy, so your heritage if you live this Ideal is the fullness of joy. And this is my concluding wish and my concluding words to you\u00bb.
