If you love Christ, it is fitting that anyone for whom he shed his blood should be important to you.

We ought to hate no one for God never comes where there is no love of our neighbors.
–Saint Philip Neri (1515-1595)
Two works of mercy…
Two works of mercy set a person free: forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you will receive.
