Daily Reflection for January 29, 2024

A brother said to a hermit, ‘If I see a monk about whom I have heard that he is guilty of a sin, I cannot make myself invite him into my cell. But if I see a good monk, I bring him in gladly. ’The hermit said, ‘If you do good to a good brother it is nothing to him, but to the other give double charity, for he is sick.’

Love overcomes a multitude of sins.
