See everyone as new.
If we have in our hearts love and mercy for each person,
rather than judgment and condemnation,
we will help each person begin a new life,
we will constantly give courage to start afresh.

 
Chiara Lubich, foundress of Focolare; 20th century

Father in heaven, since you are so good to me,
how good I must be towards others.

What a marvelously different society
we would have here
and what an ideal world to live in,
if we would all keep in mind this assurance of Jesus.

 
Ven. Solanus Casey, 20th century

Always see Jesus in every person,
and consequently treat each one not only as an equal
and as a brother or sister, but also with great humility,
respect, and selfless generosity.

 
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th century

There is mercy in heaven,
but the road to heaven is paved
with our merciful acts on earth.

 
St. Caesarius of Arles, 6th century

Whoever loves God
loves his neighbor.

 
St. Basil the Great, 4th century

Mary was not only concerned for the Lord,
but also for Elizabeth, John, and the couple at Cana.
Imitate Mary’s attitude; have a consideration for our Lord,
but also for your neighbor.

Christ calls each of us directly.
He told us to love one another.
Love alone can bring about the salvation of the world.
