Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier

One sees a blatant disregard for the precious souls of mankind.

I wasn't with Joseph, but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it.

If you are persistent, you will succeed

A prayerful life is the key to possessing gratitude. We often take for granted the people who most deserve our gratitude. Let us not wait until it is too late for us to express our gratitude. Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. If I gratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues. To express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.

The reward of eternal life requires effort.

Whatever our calling, regardless of our fears or anxieties, let us pray and then go and do.
