List of points
There are 5 points in The Forge which the material is Love → love and sacrifice.
Love is sacrifice; and sacrifice for Love’s sake is a joy.
This is the truth of a Christian’s life: self-giving and love — love of God and, for God’s sake, love of one’s neighbour — founded on sacrifice.
The cheerful love that fills the soul with happiness is founded on suffering. There is no love without renunciation.
The way of Love is called Sacrifice.
In the forge of suffering that accompanies the life of all who love, the Lord teaches us that those who tread fearlessly where the Master treads, hard though the going is, find joy.
