I enter when and where I wish. I hold the key to every poisoned heart."

He felt that God said the same to him. Ah! This isthe hell which Christ suffered. The ocean of Christ's sufferings isunfathomable… He was forsaken in the [place] of sinners.

It is the extension of good will, help, forgiveness, compassion and kindness to one who may not seem to deserve it."
