“Blessed is the servant who loves his brothers and sisters as much when they are sick and useless, as when they are well and of service to him.  And blessed is he who loves his brothers and sisters as well when they are far off, as when they are by their side, and who would say nothing behind their back that he might not, in love, say before their face.  Keep a clear eye toward life’s end.  And remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing that you have received, but only what you have given.” 

Francis of Assisi
