If others would have received the same graces as I did ,they could have achieved much more . “ This can also be turned around : if I would have to face the same temptations , difficult situations in life , family situations as the other person , then would it come to light where  I stand as far the sanctity, holiness of life is concerned . The graces and the temptations are very much custom made , customised . Lets not look at each other , but ourselves . We have to run our own courses the best possible way  we can .
