Attractive floor covering…
There is your brother, naked, crying, and you stand there confused over the choice of an attractive floor covering.
–Saint Ambrose of Milan (339-397)
Great is the mercy of God…
If we stop to think how great is the mercy of God, we would never cease doing all the good we can, for while we on our side, for love of him, give to the poor what he gives us he promises us a hundred fold in Heavenly glory.
–Saint John of God (1495-1550)
To receive God’s mercy…
If we look forward to receiving God’s mercy, we can never fail to do good so long as we have the strength. For if we share with the poor, out of love for God, whatever he has given to us, we shall receive according to his promise a hundredfold in eternal happiness. What a fine profit, what a blessed reward! With outstretched arms he begs us to turn toward him, to weep for our sins, and to become the servants of love, first for ourselves, then for our neighbors.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
Charity quenches sin…
Have charity, first for our own souls, then with the neighbor. For, as water quenches fire, so charity quenches sin.
–Saint John of God (1495-1550)
Things to share…
God gives us things to share, God doesn’t give us things to hold.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
In loving and serving…
In loving and serving, we prove that we have been created in the likeness of God, for God is Love and when we love we are like God.
–Saint Teresa of Calcutta (1910-1997)
