And that there is such, is due to an indifference by men to heed the admonitions and teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

“May I reach That purest heaven - be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony; Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty. Be the sweet presence of a good diffused, And in the diffusion ever more intense! So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world.”
