Even when someone is failing in charity towards us, we should like Jesus, become still more charitable, remembering that the one who has caused suffering has more need of our charity; it is the time when we can give our suffering even if we cannot give our lives for our brethren.
~Meditations (MD 122).
Those who are filled with love of God have the desire and the power of spreading charity around them.
~ Meditations (MD 431)
We must always contribute to the spirit of charity and peace; may we ourselves never wound charity by word or deed.

The soul that loves God and her neighbour with a true love, and corresponds unreservedly to the choice of Jesus is no longer His servant but His friend.
~ Meditations (MD 479)
If charity for God and our neighbour would close our lips, what progress we would make in holiness! If we never wasted our time in useless words, we should become interior souls closely united to God. Free from all failings in charity, what peace there would be in our souls and in our communities.
~ Meditations (MD 541)
Charity loves God first and foremost in Himself, and then in His creatures according to the degree in which he is manifested in them.
~ Meditations (MD 544)
Souls who rise above things of this world are simple, humble, obedient, poor and charitable. For them the treasures of love are poured forth. Let us follow this path if we wish to enjoy these treasures.
