Tell me how much you know of the sufferings of your fellowmen and I will tell you how much you have loved them.

Jesus did not identify the person with his sin, but rather saw in this sin something alien, something that really did not belong to him, something that merely chained and mastered him and from which he would free him and bring him back to his real self. Jesus was able to love men because he loved them right through the layer of mud.

The doubters are always more blessed than the mere fellow travelers in faith. For they are the only ones who fully learn that their Lord is stronger than any doubt and any hell of despair.

Tell me how much you know of the sufferings of your fellowmen and I will tell you how much you have loved them.
