The excuse of those who say, "It is not my place to correct others;" or, "I am as bad as they are," will be no more accepted by God than the words of Cain: "Am I my brother's keeper?"

For each is obliged before God to turn his brother from sin, and to assist him to advance in virtue; and he who neglects this duty against his conscience offends God. It is useless for him to pretend that he has received no commission, for his own conscience will teach him that God requires it from him; and if he neglects it, God will demand an account from him even more strictly than from a superior who was absent when the evil was committed, or who did not notice it when present. Thus we find these words in Scripture: "Woe to him who sins, but a double woe to him who assists in sin." We make ourselves guilty of the sin of others, if we consent to it by concealing it when we might procure glory to God by discovering it.

‘‘I love them that love Me,” says Divine Wisdom. Let us therefore love God, and we can be sure of being loved by Him. Let us love Him much, and we have the promise that we shall be loved much in return. Now, what is true love but that which gives itself, above all that which manifests and gives itself through obedience and filial abandonment? Our Lord has given us the assurance: ‘‘If any man love Me he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and will make Our abode with him ” (John xiv, 23).

St. Bernard says that the devil sits upon the tongue of him who loves to speak against his neighbor, and in the ear of him who likes to listen to such conversation.

Maria,

I notice you do that a lot: quote saints, etc. I for one appreciate that and enjoy reading them. Every day there is a vast universe of things to learn that we were not aware of upon waking in the morning.

Thanks,
