When we talk to our fellow men and they tell us about their troubles, we will listen to them carefully if we have love for them. We will have compassion for their suffering and pain, for we are God's creatures; we are a manifestation of the love of God.

Thaddeus Of Vitovnica
About This Quote

If we have love for our fellow man, we will listen to them in the spirit of love. We will not want to turn them away or be harsh towards them when they are in need. We will listen with compassion to their pain and suffering and help them in any way that we can. That is what God's love looks like.
