Reconstruction, Conversion
- It is not fear that saves. - Love, on the contrary, is constructive.[1]
In "The Gospel as Revealed to Me"
- The rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple, in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, compared to the rebuilding of Souls by the Christ: The materials are in the Lord's precepts - It is not fear that saves. - Love, on the contrary, is constructive.[2]
- Zacchaeus founds the first Home for the condemned: Before they were my partners in vice, but I did not love them. Now I reprimand them, but I love them. I have so sinned and I know how sweet is the Peace that comes from being forgiven, redeemed, renewed... I wanted it for them. I sought them.[3]
