Works of mercy…
When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice.
–Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
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)
Have charity always…
Love our Lord, Jesus Christ, above everything in the world, because the more you love Him, the more He will love you. Have charity always, for where charity is not found God is not there, even though he is everywhere.
–Saint John of God (1495-1550)
Give to the poor…
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)
Judge only actions…
I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
–Dorothy Day (1897-1980)
Give to someone…
It would be considered a theft on our part if we didn’t give to someone in greater need than we are.
–Saint Francis of Assisi (1181 – 1226)
