Military Training On Catholic Campuses Is Wrong – NCR

Reflections on what it means to be Catholic Workers on a farm in north central Canada

Rule of St. Benedict

Let all guests who arrive be received like Christ, for He is going to say, “I came as a guest, and you received Me” (Matt. 25:35).

RB 53.1

The Works Of Mercy

– feeding the hungry
– giving drink to the thirsty
– clothing the naked
– harbouring the harbourless
– visiting the sick
– ransoming the captive
– burying the dead

(Matthew 25:31-36)

Thomas Merton, OCSO

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, OCSO

Peter Maurin

In the first centuries of Christianity the hungry were fed at a personal sacrifice, the naked were clothed at a personal sacrifice, the homeless were sheltered at a personal sacrifice… And [they]  used to say about the Christians, “See how they love each other.”

– Peter Maurin

Dorothy Day, OBlSB

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

Henri Nouwen

It is a shame that in  a society as great as our own that you cannot get your PhD in care.

– Henri Nouwen

…freely you have received, freely give.

– Matthew 10:8b
