Thank God For Insults!
If people insult you and refuse to give you or your ministry alms, you should thank God for it, because you will be honoured before the judgment-seat of our Lord Jesus Christ for these insults. THE SHAME WILL BE IMPUTED TO THOSE WHO CAUSE IT, NOT TO THOSE WHO SUFFER IT! Alms are an inheritance and a right which is due to the poor because our Lord Jesus Christ acquired this inheritance for us.
Saint Francis of Assisi

"Good morning! My attempt to post to your wall failed. All of my e-friends and I communicate freely rather than merely appear to serve as advertising for one cause or another however meritoriously this may be. Enjoy your day. It's a royal gift!" J.P.
J.P. - "Among other words used in ordinary conversation, Francis could never hear 'for the love of God' without a kind of transformation within himself. For immediately upon hearing 'for the love of God,' he would become excited, stirred, and inflamed, as though an inner chord of his heart had been plucked by the plectrum of the outward voice of the speaker."
