We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.

For our hearts are enfeebled by prosperity, so that we cannot make the effort to pray.

Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.

In our good works nothing is our own.
