Peter Maurin

What we give to the poor… is what we carry with us when we die.

– Peter Maurin

Dorothy Day

What we would like to do is change the world – make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do….We can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat, there is nothing that we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.

– Dorothy Day

The Works Of Mercy

Feed the hungry.
Give drink to the thirsty.
Clothe the naked.
Harbour the harbourless.
Visit the sick.
Ransom the captive.
Bury the dead.

Thomas Merton

Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.

- Thomas Merton

…freely you have received, freely give.

– Matthew 10:8b

Non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.
