Virtue Quote: St. Catherine of Siena
"I want you, therefore, to know that nothing causes as much darkness and division in the world among both laypeople and religious, clergy and shepherds of holy Church, as does the lack of the light justice and the invasion of the darkness of injustice. No rank, whether civil or divine law, can be held in [...]
Virtue Quote: Pope Benedict XVI
"Charity goes beyond justice, because to love is to give, to offer what is 'mine' to the other; but it never lacks justice, which prompts us to give the other what is 'his', what is due to him by reason of his being or his acting. I cannot 'give' what is mine to the other [...]

You are well versed in coloring your own actions with excuses which you will not accept from others, though it would be more just to accuse yourself and excuse your brother."
