Care for the other

 

 

To have contact with Christ, He must rest with your whole life. And
Christ rests when you rest your neighbor, in the good sense. That's
why I emphasize spiritual nobility, sacrifice. We are obliged to make
the pain of others our pain. And when we care for the other, we
oblige Christ to care for us.
