“I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?” Jesus said (Luke 12:49). This is the fire of Christian love that we need to kindle incessantly in our heart and the hearts of others. God’s kingdom cannot be helped more than through this fire of Christian love. Only through the help of evangelical love you can win a miserable soul for the Gospel.

The Bible says about David that he was able to calm through his chants Saul’s anger. The sweet chant of Christian love calms even today, more than anything, the souls tormented by anger. Dear reader, bring your contribution so that the world may hear this sweet song.
