W

Wait on the Lord and he will direct your way. Become his servant for this is the way to attain your truest liberty.
Weep with those who weep and 'fellow-feel' the afflictions of your brothers around the world. Christ in heaven accounts the sufferings of his saints his own, and we his members on earth must do the same. Religion and mercy are well matched by God and must not be divorced by man. As for the miseries and sins of the age in which you live, mourn also for them and pray to God for remedy.
Wish not a long life so much as good health; he has lived long who has lived well. A short life in grace sets into the everlasting life of glory.
