An egg given…
An egg given during life for love of God is more profitable for eternity than a cathedral full of gold given after death.
–Saint Albert the Great (c. 1206-1280)
Today God invited…
Today God invited you to do good; do it therefore today. Tomorrow you may not have time, or God may no longer call you to do it.
–Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
Have charity always…
Have charity always, for where charity is not found God is not there, even though he is everywhere.
— Saint John of God (1495-1550)
Shaped by generosity…
Growing in the virtue of generosity is a disposition of the heart to give spontaneously of oneself, to reach out to others in love and concern, and to seek the good in others. A generous heart does not measure its response and it goes beyond what is expected or required or owed. A generous heart asks for nothing in return… The heart of a disciple is shaped by generosity.
–Gerald M. Fagin (1938-2012)
Words alone are not enough…
It is obvious that words alone are not going to help someone who is naked and hungry. Someone whose faith does not go beyond words is useless. Such faith is dead without works of Christian love that alone can bring it back to life.
–Venerable Bede (c. 673-735)
Attend to the needs…
When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours.
— Saint Gregory the Great (c. 540-604)
