There are so many today who think nothing of committing sin, but there are so few today who make even a single act of reparation.

Charity is the mark of an apostle.

For the apostles were not permitted to begin their labor of preaching the gospel until they had received the Holy Ghost, until they were inflamed, consumed even, by the love of God.

In our own lives, we might be able to truthfully say that the degree of our love for God can be measured by the fidelity that we have to that particular duty of state of life, which all of us have, which pleases us the least.

Where the splinter of charity does not exist, there also the fever of faith is absent.

Remove light from the sun, And then you can remove charity from faith.

Charity is an outward act of the inner man of Christian.

A dead body is devoid of respiration.

So also, faith without love is dead.

In the temple of Solomon, everything inside and outside was overlaid with gold.

So also in the spiritual temple of God, everything inside and outside is decorated with love.

Charity moves the heart to compassion.

This is the charity that animated St. Francis of Assisi, St. Vincent de Paul, and a countless host of men and women who, renouncing all the pleasures of the world, have devoted themselves wholly to the service of the sick and poor for the sake of Christ.

This is the charity described by St. Paul when he says, charity is patient, is kind.

Charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil, rejoiced not in inequity, but rejoiced with the truth beareth all things believeth all things hopeth all things endureth all things first corinthian chapter thirteen verses four through seven when this charity once more reigns supreme amongst us we shall no longer value a man according to his possessions but according to the good that he does to his neighbors Each individual will cease to seek exclusively his own advantage and will strive to benefit others as well as himself.

Men that have an abundance will supply the needs of the poor.

There will be no selfishness or injustice on the part of the employers and no discontent and envy on the part of their working people.
