#old text

It would be hard to live on earth if there was no one to help us get through life... But above us is God Almighty Himself, Love itself... Why should we fear and grieve, why should we shy away from the hardships of life, assume and try to understand... ?

The more complicated and difficult it is to live, the less we should do these things... Give yourselves up to God's will and God will not disappoint you. Give yourselves up not with words, but with deeds... That is why life has become difficult, because people confuse it with their 'cleverness'.

Instead of turning to God's help, they started turning to their own reason and trusting in it.

Do not fear troubles, nor suffering, nor all temptations: all these mean God's testing, which is for your benefit.

Before your end, thank God not for joys and happiness, but for troubles and suffering. The more of these there are in your life, the easier you will die and your soul will ascend to God.

This is a bit of obsolete text from the Retribution alpha that was scrapped when the rivalry system was completely revamped. It marked the end of the Ortega rivalry from Rebirth, opening up Step to choose or fall into a new one (depending on stats, it's much more a deliberate choice now.) (Riley always fell into an Argent rivalry so we keep it lol.)
