I've posted this before, but in light of political goings-on in the USA, I'm going to re-post.

“The way to God lies through love of people. At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, nor how many bows and prostrations I made. Instead I shall be asked did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says 'I': 'I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison.' To think that he puts an equal sign between himself and anyone in need... I always knew it, but now it has somehow penetrated to my sinews. It fills me with awe.”

— St. Maria of Paris, who died in Auschwitz because she helped smuggle Jewish children out of Paris

[This is as close to politics as I am likely to allow myself to be on Fedi.]
