“If
you truly want to help the soul of your neighbor, you should approach God first
with all your heart. Ask God simply to fill you with charity, the greatest of
all virtues; with it you can accomplish what you desire.”—St. Vincent Ferrer
(1350-1419) quoted in Jill Haak Adels, The Wisdom of the Saints: An Anthology
(1989)
