Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, for there are plenty of others.

The faith must express itself in charity and in solidarity, which is the civil form of charity.

Charity can be the outward expression of faith and hope.

Being Christian towards poor people means trying to improve their lives and give them back some self-respect.

I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.

Charity But how shall we expect charity towards others, when we are uncharitable to ourselves? Charity begins at home, is the voice of the world; yet is every man his greatest enemy, and, as it were, his own executioner.

To God be humble, to thy friend be kind, and with thy neighbors gladly lend and borrow; His chance tonight, it maybe thine tomorrow.

It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.

When we imply that our works are for God and not our neighbor, we perpetuate the idea that God's love for us is dependent on what we do instead of on what Christ has done.

Then, certainly, to be a Christian is to love God above all, and our neighbour as ourselves.
