Augustine For Today

JULY 30 – SAINT PETER CHRYSOLOGUS

“The spirit of the person who actually hands something to a poor man experiences a kind of sympathy with common humanity and infirmity when the hand of the one who has is actually place in the hand of the one who is in need. Although the one is giving, the other is receiving; the one being attended to and the one attending are being joined in a real relationship.” 

Sermon 259, 5
