What is the moment, the place, or the person that is the most important of my life?

A bishop was once asked the following question: "What is the moment, the place, or the person that is the most important of my life? He answered: "It is the present moment I am living, the place where I am, and the person before me with whom I am speaking. If that person is there, is it not because the Lord has placed him on my way, and has made this meeting possible?"
