Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. Its the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone elses pain is as meaningful as your own. – Barbara Kingsolver
Spiritually good people, pure in heart, who long for the Blessed Sacrament but cannot receive at the time, can receive spiritually… even a hundred times a day, in sickness and in health, with immeasurable grace and profit. – Johannes Tauler
