“But the wise took oil
in their vessels”
Matthew 25:4
“The wise ones’ lamps were burning,
from the oil inside them,
from the assurance of their consciences,
from their inner boast,
from their deepest charity.”
“Love the Lord and so,
learn to love yourselves
that when, by loving the Lord,
you shall have loved yourselves,
you may securely love
your neighbour as yourselves. …
So then, have faith with love.
This is the “wedding garment!”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father & Doctor of Grace
“We should always love our neighbour,
as in the breast of Christ”
(The Spirit of St François de Sales II, 1)
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor of the Church
“He loves you as though He had
no-one else to love but you alone.
You, too, should love Him alone
and all others for His Sake.
Of Him you may say and, indeed, you should say:
My Beloved to me and I to Him (Cant, 2:16).
My God has given Himself all to me
and I give myself all to Him;
He has chosen me for His beloved
and I choose Him, above all others,
for my only Love.”
