"Il ne nous appartient pas de maîtriser toutes les marées du monde, mais de faire ce qui est en nous pour secourir ces années dans lesquelles nous sommes placés, en déracinant le mal dans les champs que nous connaissons."

Simplified Meaning:

We shouldn't try to control everything happening in the world. Instead, we should focus on helping the people around us and making our own community a better place. Think of it like a garden: you can't take care of every garden in the world, but you can tend to your own patch. If you see weeds (which represent problems or evil), you should pull them out to ensure your garden thrives. In simpler terms, concentrate on doing good in your immediate surroundings, and that's how you can make a difference. By focusing on what we can change directly, we become part of the solution in our own little corner of the world.
