"The most fragile thing in life is life itself. Therefore, above money, material things, everything. Love today, ask God and your neighbor for forgiveness today, embrace faith in Jesus today, value your family. Today, you who are still alive, have a new opportunity: live it with, for, and through God. Today is the day of change; today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow, the riches created in the world may collapse upon us. "Vanity of vanities, and all is vanity except loving God and serving Him alone." Thomas Kempins."
