If the world is to know the peace that God meant for us to enjoy, sooner or later all must strive earnestly to eliminate personal faults and failings, while increasing their consideration of others
Our prayers for greater knowledge, peace, prosperity, health, happiness, security, forgiveness, and our many personal fears and wishes, are all heard and carefully considered by those who are attuned to us and who are vitally concerned with our well-being
Thought given to the practice of the virtues requires a measure of mental control that tends to expand our reasoning power in a way conducive not only to our personal well-being but our advancement as well.
