Dear Lord,

Help me see with special fondness to the needs of others, to make myself "all things to all people."  To comfort the stricken and care for the sick, to have sympathy for the weak.
 

Amen.

...Charity and Love

Old Catholic Hymns...I love them!  I've been creating PS7 brushes from the lyrics to old hymns, so I've been delving deep into my childhood memories trying to recall lines from some of my favorites to see if I can find the lyrics online.  The lyrics to most hymns have long since passed into public domain and are free from copyright restrictions but there are a few that remain elusive.  Where Charity and Love Prevail is an old favorite but unforturnately not old enough that I can find the lyrics online.  *smile*

So instead of lyrics I found these words written by St. Therese of Lisieux:

"Charity consists in bearing with the faults of others, in not being surprised at their weakness, in being edified by the smallest acts of virtue we see them practice."
