Que nunca deixe de praticar a caridade

“Que nunca deixe de praticar a caridade” Não é compatível amar a Deus com perfeição e deixar-se dominar pelo egoísmo – ou pela apatia – na relação com o próximo. (Sulco, 745)

A tua caridade deve ser adequada, ajustada, às necessidades dos outros...; não às tuas. (Sulco, 749)

Filhos de Deus! Uma condição que nos transforma em algo mais transcendente do que em simples pessoas que se suportam mutuamente...
