“Charity is patient, is kind...is not provoked to anger.” 1Cor. 13:4.5. Charity is never wearied and is never impatient with the ungrateful. It is not irritated when repulsed, but perseveres in loving and doing good. Charity should not look for gratitude. Even when coldness and hostility are encountered it should continue to give itself...all for love of God!

The characteristic of charity, according to Saint Paul, is that it does not permit itself to be “overcome by evil” but it “overcomes evil by good.” Rom. 12:21.

Charity is completely forgetful of self. The soul who truly loves God spends itself for its neighbor because love of God and love of neighbor are one and the same! Love of neighbor has its source in God!

“Teach me, O Lord, to love my neighbor even when not loved by him, to love him with no concern for my own benefit, but solely because You love me, solely to repay Your gratuitous love.” St. Catherine of Sienna.

In Christo Jesu et
Maria Immaculata,

“My house is the house of prayer, but you have made it into a den of thieves.” Jesus Christ always pointed to God the Father. When His holy Temple was being abused He quickly put an end to it. The purpose of the Temple was to provide a place for divine worship, not to engage in business trades.

The purpose of our Catholic churches is to offer a space for divine worship and nothing else. Our churches are consecrated and set apart as places to offer holy sacrifice. They too are houses of prayer! We have the privilege as Catholics to have Jesus Christ present-Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in our tabernacles! We owe Him the utmost reverence when we enter a church. We owe Him all our attention as long as we are there. We should never abuse the great gift Christ has given us in making Himself literally present in our churches!


In Christo Jesu et
Maria Immaculata,
