Compassion is where peace and justice kiss

If the seal is pressed completely through the wax so that no wax remains without being impressed by the seal, then it becomes indistinguishably one with the seal. Similarly the soul becomes completely united with God.

What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the harvest of action.
