Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! The Father is a merciful God, who always gives us comfort. He comforts us when we are in trouble, so that we can share that same comfort with others in trouble. We share in the terrible sufferings of Christ, but also in the wonderful comfort he gives.
II Corinthians 1:3-5
"Catholic Charity is done in the spirit of II Corinthians 1:3-5. Our service to others is our response to the conversion of heart, which the Spirit works in us."
