Thought for the Day – 7 February – Religion and Action

As St Gregory the Great writes, “We shall really be faithful Christians only when we practise, in our actions, what we promise in our words” (Sermon 29). Since Christianity is above everything else, the religion of charity, it is essential that we should be on fire with the love of God and our our neighbour. As St Augustine says, faith without charity is the faith which even the devil possesses (De Caritas 10).”
