  5. Everywhere we look, there is suffering. But Jesus is not calling us to look. He is calling us to listen.
  6. In his death, Jesus has done the ultimate act of charity. He has given his life for all.
  7. You cannot “be what you want to be” and follow Jesus. Jesus has a higher calling for you, a calling which is more personal.

  10. Jesus does not remain at a distance from our suffering. He fully enters it and bears its burden.
  11. When the One who created the world comes to you, there is reason for courage and never reason to fear.
