Principles and Practices - June 2

Christian Sweetness

It is the sweetness not of manner, or of phrase, or of look that forms this quality, but the sweetness of mind, of heart, of soul, distilled through every sense and every pore: for, in one word, it is the suavity of charity.

-Cardinal Wiseman.
