Employ thy power in aiding the weak, thy wisdom in instruction the ignorant, and thy riches in benefactions to the poor. Let not adversity crush thee, nor prosperity unduly exalt thee. Let Christ be the aim of thy life; follow Him in this world, that thou mayest come at last into His fellowship in the heavenly fatherland. In all things let thy greatest care be to manifest deep humility and glowing love. - Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditations* XXVIII
