Saint Charbel Family "They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer"  Acts 2-42

 

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Love never gets out of date.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.”

Fulton Sheen
