Needed by others…
Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.
–Saint Augustine (354-430)
The love of God…
The love of God, unutterable and perfect, flows into a pure soul the way light rushes into a transparent object. The more love that it finds, the more it gives itself: so that, as we grow clear and open, the more complete the joy of heaven is. And the more souls who resonate together, the greater the intensity of their love, and, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other.
–Dante (c. 1265 – 1321)
Love my fellow Christian…
What could make me love my fellow Christian better than to see that God loves us all as we were all one soul?
–Saint Julian of Norwich (1342-1416)
No enemy except yourself…
No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
Truly loves his enemy…
A man truly loves his enemy when he is not offended by the injury done to himself, but for love of God feels burning sorrow for the sin his enemy has brought on his own soul, and proves his love in a practical way.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226)
God is compassion…
You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.
–Meister Eckhart (1260-1328)
