David placed all his hope of salvation in his future Redeemer, and said: Into thy hands, 0 Lord, I commend my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, 0 Lord, the God of truth-(Ps. xxx. 6). But how much more ought we to place our confidence in Jesus Christ, now that He has come and has accomplished the work of Redemption! Hence each one of us should say, and repeat again and again with greater confidence: Into thy hands, 0 Lord, I commend my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, 0 Lord, the God of truth.

My little children, says St. John, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth-(l John iii. 18). Some say they sincerely love their neighbours, but they will not submit to
inconvenience for the sake of any of them. To fulfil the precept of charity it is not enough to love our neighbour in words ; we must love him in deed and in truth.
