In this sermon, the preacher discusses the issue of people being too busy for the church and the word of God. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong love for God and warns against the increase of unrighteousness. The preacher also talks about the need to prioritize spiritual matters over worldly distractions, such as television and secular activities. He encourages the congregation to seek revival and to prioritize their relationship with God above all else.

Thomas a Kempis reflects on the deep devotion and love shown by devout individuals towards the Sacrament of Holy Communion, expressing his own feelings of inadequacy and longing for a stronger faith, hope, and charity. He humbly asks Jesus for the grace to experience even a fraction of the tenderness of His love during Communion, desiring to be among those whose hearts burn with zeal for the Lord. Despite feeling lacking in fervor, he trusts in God's mercy to grant him the grace he seeks and to kindle a greater flame of love within him.
