There is nothing which edifies others so much as charity and kindness, by which, as by the oil in our lamp, the flame of good example is kept alive.

Giving to one in need…

Advance in prayer…
I notice in some souls – there are not many because of our sins – that the more they advance in this kind of prayer and the gifts of our Lord, the more attention they pay to the needs of their neighbor.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
