Only Christ will save your soul from eternal suffering. There is nothing more important than this. We waste our lives in vain arguments and forget to care for our most precious possession: our soul.
What good is it to gain the world and lose our soul? What good is it to accomplish extraordinary deeds, transformations, and achievements in this world of flesh and blood, while our soul continues to suffer anguish, apathy, and loneliness? What good is it to be esteemed by others when there is only emptiness and pain within our soul?
Nothing in this world should matter more than our own soul. We must care for how we feel, just as we care for and protect our treasures, because, in truth, the true treasure is not found in the things of the Earth, but rather in the inner world, the Kingdom of God that is within us.
There is nothing in this world more important than our peace. We must not trade our peace for anything. Our soul is our most precious possession.
We must seek, in communion with God, to heal ourselves of everything: of our fears; of our guilt, forgiving our past mistakes; of the hurts, resentments, and pain involving our brothers and sisters; of our anxieties about the future.
We must learn, in the presence of God, to have compassion for ourselves and cultivate a loving inner dialogue with ourselves. We must preserve our peace, learning to cultivate a feeling of love in our hearts toward ourselves and toward our neighbors.
The only value greater than this is the transcendental love of our Lord, our God, the eternal and endless love of Christ, which shatters our ego and frees us from all pride and all selfishness.
In this transcendental love lies true happiness, true peace, true joy, because, when stripped of all human selfishness, we find the infinite and ideal altruistic divine love, which, even in the face of pain, gives itself completely, because its true happiness has never been found in itself, but rather in the sublime act of loving.
