Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
He is the living One; there is no god but He: call upon Him, giving Him sincere devotion.
Set your faces towards unity, and let the radiance of its light shine upon you. Gather ye together, and for the sake of God resolve to root out whatever is the source of contention among you. Then will the effulgence of the world’s great Luminary envelop the whole earth, and its inhabitants become citizens of one city, and the occupants of one and the same throne.
The essence of the offering is that it be analogous to the sin, and that a man offer to God his desires and passions, for this is more acceptable than all.
Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
God created man incorruptible, and made him in the image of his own nature, but through the devil’s envy, death came into the world.
