Mlongo wina akukumbukira kuti: “Chaka chirichonse ndinkapita ku Częstochowa kukayenda ndi mawondo padzoma la Mtanda, zimene ndinalingalira kukhala thayo la Mkatolika aliyense wowona mtima.

Tsatirani Njira Yopambana ya Chikondi

YEHOVA MULUNGU iyemwiniyo ndiye chikondi. (1 Yohane 4:8) Mwana wake, Yesu Kristu, ananena kuti tiyenera kukonda Mulungu ndi mnansi wathu. (Mateyu 22:37-40) Eya, Mulungu amayendetsa chilengedwe chonse pamaziko a mkhalidwe umenewu! Chotero kaamba ka moyo wamuyaya kulikonse, tiyenera kutsatira njira ya chikondi.
