Everyone is lovable

Love never gets out
of date.
Love, therefore, all
things, and all persons in God.
So long as there are
poor, I am poor;
So long as there are
prisons, I am a prisoner;
So long as there are
sick, I am weak;
So long as there is
ignorance, I must learn the truth;
So long as there is
hate, I must love;
So long as there is
hunger, I am famished.

Such is the
identification our Divine Lord would have us make with all
whom He made in love and for love.
Where we do not find
love, we must put it.
Then everyone is
lovable.
There is nothing in
all the world more calculated to inspire love
for others than this
Vision of Christ in our fellow man:
“For I was hungry,
and you gave me to eat;
I was thirsty, and
you gave me to drink;
I was a stranger,
and you took me in;
Naked and you
covered me;
Sick and you visited
me;
I was in prison, and
you came to me.”
