5. Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.
6. The world’s thy ship and not thy home.
7. A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul.
8. Do you realise that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you – for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart… Don’t listen to the demon, laugh at him, and go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace and love.
