farewell to the flesh

Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh (1995)

"It is true, O Mary, that on the day of my baptism the Holy Spirit diffused His charity in me; but my self-love has halted its growth, and I who have so little love for my God, have likewise very little love for my neighbor. O most loving Mother, see how I need to have my heart dilated with charity! Stir up, then, and nourish that virtue in me and grant that, having given myself to the service of God, I may give myself to that of my neighbor, with kindness and humility, promptness and generosity."

Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D., Divine Intimacy, "181: Mary and Fraternal Charity"
