CHARITY is a servant of the rest

If one of you wants to be great, you must be the servant of the rest...  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served.  ~ Mark 10:43, 45

Henry Drummond said:  “There is no happiness in having or getting, but only in giving.  [Happiness] consists in giving and serving others.”  ~ Mark Link, S.J.

The best thing to give an enemy is forgiveness;
to an opponent, tolerance;
to a friend, your heart;
to your child, a good example;
to your father, deference;
to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you;
to yourself, respect;
to all, charity.  ~ Francis M. Balfour

How will you enthusiastically serve another life today?

… Christ founded the Church to “teach all nations all that I have commanded you (Matthew 28:20).”  No other institution can claim the moral authority to speak in regard to life than that authority which Christ himself endowed the Catholic Church…  Therefore, we show ourselves to be most fully in touch with Christ… when we too proclaim and defend human life from conception until natural death no matter the circumstances in which it comes into being and no matter the actions of any single individual.
~ Monsignor Edward L. Buelt, Our Lady of Loreto Parish
