The light of happiness should be the constantly lighted torch in the atmosphere of our experience.

Various circumstances and particularly those of indiscipline may alter the climate of peace about us, and outstanding among them is the thoughtless word as an anvil of misunderstanding to bring about conflicts.

Hence, it is our basic duty to watch over ourselves in conversation, extending the resources of understanding to the ears of other people. Let us be indulgent. If we are mistaken, let us ask for forgiveness. If others are mistaken, let us forgive. The evil which we wish to others today will give rise to evil for us tomorrow.

The injury has no just reason and forgiveness nullifies all problems by reducing complications and losses of time.

It is thus that spontaneity in good establishes real charity.

Whoever does not recognize his own imperfections displays inconsistency.

Whoever forgives does not feel remorse.

Hatred is an invisible fire in the conscience.

Error, therefore, calls not for aversion but for understanding.

Our error requires the goodness of others. An error of someone else demands our clemency.

Humanity needs not him that censures it, but him that esteems it.

In the face of error, to multiply justifications and reasons is vain. Above all, it is necessary to make amends, because the return to the task is the inevitable consequence of all evasion of duty.

The more thoroughly we know ourselves, the greater is the imperative in us to forgive.

Let us learn with the Gospel, the inexhaustible source of Truth.

You, a specimen of the Great Progeny of God, are in need of the assistance of all and all ask your assistance.

Learn, then, to reflect the world about you, remembering that if the mirror, inert and cold, portrays all the aspects, worthy and unworthy alike, the painter, conscientiously seeking to create a superior activity, only exteriorizes in the purity of the canvas the noble and constructive angles of life.
