Wisdom from Fr. Jean-Philippe of Solesmes

 
 
 

When we come before God, we will be accountable for our charity toward the weakest. I need to know how to lose my time for the sick. In life, giving freely is essential.

—Fr. Jean-Philippe of Solesmes

quoted in the book, A Time to Die: Monks on the Threshold of Eternal Life
