The greatest mistake is in not seeing Christ in others.

 
Archbishop Van Thuan, 20th century

Charity consists in bearing with the faults of others,
not being surprised at their weakness;
in being edified
by the smallest acts of virtue we see them practice.

 
St. Therese of Lisieux, 19th century

Above all, 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.

 
Ven. Charles de Foucauld, 20th century

We are all children of the Most High, all of us.
We should hold all human beings in high esteem.
We should love all humankind,
for they are all children of God.

 
Ven. Charles de Foucauld, 20th century

Nothing serves so well
to establish and maintain peace and union
as the forbearing charity
whereby we put up with one another's defects.

 
St. Robert Bellarmine, 17th century

The perfection of brotherly love
lies in the love of one’s enemies.
We can find no greater inspiration for this
than the grateful remembrance of the patience of Christ.

 
St. Aelred, 12th century

One must see God in everyone.

 
St. Catherine Laboure, 19th century

The meek are those
who know how to suffer their neighbor and themselves.

 
St. John of the Cross, 16th century
