Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

—1 John 3:18 (NRSV)

“[St. Francis of Assisi] was a Lover. He was a lover of God and he was really and truly a lover of men; possibly a much rarer mystical vocation. A lover of men is very nearly the opposite of a philanthropist; indeed the pedantry of the Greek word carries something like a satire on itself. A philanthropist may be said to love anthropoids. But as St. Francis did not love humanity but men, so he did not love Christianity but Christ.” —G. K. Chesterton

Show me who to love today, Lord. Remind me to see You in the faces of people I meet.
