Hillary’s spiritual side also came out when she reached out for advice and received a boost from George Tribou, the priest who for many years had run the Catholic boys’ high school in Little Rock, whom the Clintons had become friends with during the past years. Father Tribou wrote a letter to Hillary dated June 24, 1999, which stated his view in these words: “On Judgment Day the first question God asks is not about the Ten Commandments . . . , but what He asks each of us is this: ‘ What did you do with the time and the talents I gave you?’ “ This helped Hillary to look inward to remind herself of her many years of campaigning, which had turned into a core strength, which was to organize a diverse spectrum of people around her to help her achieve her goals and deal with the challenges ahead of her. She set up committees to better assess the challenges that she had in front of her and the best strategy for addressing them. She also knew that she couldn’t just talk to the people of New York, but needed to work hard to get out there, listen to and learn from the people of New York, and demonstrate that what she was for was more important then where she was from.
