Charity Is Only As Warm As Those

You Can Spend Your Time Agonizing Or Organizing.

If I Did Not Believe, If I Did Not Make What Is Called An Act Of Faith (and Each Act Of Faith Increases Our Faith, And Our Capacity For Faith), If I Did Not Have Faith That The Works Of Mercy Do Lighten The Sum Total Of Suffering In The World, So That Those Who Are Suffering On Both Sides Of This Ghastly Struggle Somehow Mysteriously Find Their Pain Lifted And Some Balm Of Consolation Poured On Their Wounds, If I Did Not Believe These Things, The Problem Of Evil Would Indeed Be Overwhelming.

How Much Did I Hear Of Religion As A Child? Very Little, And Yet My Heart Leaped When I Heard The Name Of God. I Do Believe Every Soul Has A Tendency Toward God.

Your Love For God Is Only As Great As The Love You Have For The Person You Love The Least.

The Sense Is Always That Community Is Natural To People.
