About This Book

A concise apostolic letter that gives practical moral and spiritual instruction to a dispersed faith community, urging believers to see trials as means to develop perseverance, to ask God confidently for wisdom, and to resist temptation. It argues that authentic belief must be matched by compassionate deeds toward the poor and by impartial treatment of others, condemns harmful speech and favoritism, and calls for humility, patient endurance, prayer, and self-control. The letter defines true religion as active care for the vulnerable and a life kept from worldly corruption.
