There is a balm for the wounded, and there is food for the hungry. There is water for the thirsty, and there is hope for the despairing. There is light for those in darkness, and there are inexhaustible blessings for the upright. Heal your wounds you wounded, and eat your fill you hungry.

The truth alone can conquer the evils of ignorance. Therefore, rejoice at the glad tidings!
