You, being a Christian, cannot turn your back on any concern or need of other men, your brothers.

In a Christian, in a child of God, friendship and charity are one and the same thing. They are a divine light which spreads warmth.

At times, in their behaviour, some Christians don’t give the commandment of charity the full scope and value it has. In that last wonderful discourse of his, we find Christ surrounded by his chosen ones and leaving them these words as a form of testament: Mandatum novum do vobis, ut diligatis invicem — a new commandment I give to you, that you love one another.

Then he went further: In hoc cognoscent omnes quia discipuli mei estis — by this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

—If only we would make up our minds to live as he wants!

When a Christian understands what catholicity means and practises it, and he realises the urgent need to proclaim the Good News of salvation to all creatures, he knows that as the Apostle teaches, he has to make himself “all things to all men, that all may be saved.”
