Synopsis When we started this series we did not expect that we will reach 200 words and a fourth volume. But we thank God who completed these words for us. They are words on many different topics which are not meant to be divided into parts and chapters. But they are spiritual contemplations, which you can read without keeping a specific order.

Blessed is he who seeks a word of benefit. And more blessed is he who turns the word into life, and lives it, not just reads and listens to it. Blessed is he who goes deeper into the word and makes it reach his own depth and reacts to it. Therefore, his readings will be distinguished by seriousness. These readings will penetrate your heart and your thought, opening to you a sphere of contemplation and a range of practical exercises. Pages: 113
