“For the law of Christ is charity; since it has from Him bountifully bestowed on us its good things, and has patiently borne our evil things. We, therefore, then fulfill by imitation the law of Christ, when we both kindly bestow our good things, and piously endure the evil things of our friends.”
Gregory the Great (540-604) in The Book of Pastoral Rule as recounted in The Quotable Saint ed. Rosemary Ellen Guiley (New York: Visionary Living, 2002) 27.
May this rule guide our lives: kindly bestowing good and enduring evil with charity. In so doing, we will not only fulfill the law of Christ (cf. Galatians 6:1-2) but reflect also His generous love to the world!
