Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.

We must not be wise and prudent according to the flesh, but, instead, we must be simple, humble and pure.

Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of you; through those who endure sickness and trial.

Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, through which you give your creatures sustenance.

Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures.
