In hour of cowardice boldly declare love for Christ & when things are normal or triumphant visit privately, they will know who you serve by your deeds, go without drawing attention to yourself, give life to souls, first things first, heart-to-hearts & friendly chats > grand speeches, unite efforts in Christ's charity, be a martyr/missionary/man of God without receiving title nor attention for it, laugh at 19th-century liberals stuck behind-the-times, pray for & confront friends/family/colleagues making vulgar conversation, make use of youthful imprudence.
