Practical daily devotion to do: the week of charity

SUNDAY Always aim at the image of Jesus in your neighbor; accidents are human, but reality is divine.

MONDAY Treat others as you would treat Jesus; your charity must be continuous like the breath that gives oxygen to the lungs and without which life dies.

TUESDAY In your relationship with your neighbor, transform everything into charity and kindness, trying to do to others what you would like to be done to you. Be broad, gentle, understanding.

WEDNESDAY If you are offended, let a ray of warm and serene goodness spring from the wound of your heart: shut up, forgive, forget.

THURSDAY Remember that the measure that you will use with others will be used by God with you; do not condemn and you will not be condemned.

FRIDAY Never an unfavorable judgment, a murmur, a criticism; your charity must be like the pupil of the eye, which does not admit the slightest dust.

SATURDAY Wrap your neighbor in the warm cloak of goodwill. Your charity must rest on three words: WITH ALL, ALWAYS, AT ANY COST.

Every morning he makes a covenant with Jesus: promise him to keep the flower of charity intact and ask him to open the doors of heaven to you in death. Blessed are you, if you are faithful!
