Ave Maria!— June’s Theme: Faith, Hope, and Charity
“ ‘But above all these things’ says St. Paul ‘have charity, which is the bond of perfection’. See: he is not content with recommending to us patience, mutually bearing with one another, even though these, too, are noble virtues. But no, he wants charity, and for a good reason – because it could very well be that one patiently supports another’s defects, and even forgives the offences he has received; but it could all be without merit, when it is done without charity.”
