If the world hates you, you must realise that it hated me before it hated you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong to the world, because my choice of you has drawn you out of the world, that is why the world hates you. Remember the words I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you too; if they kept my word, they will keep yours as well. But it willwill do all this to you, because they do not know the one who sent me. be on my account that they will do all this to you, because they do not know the one who sent me.
The Saint of the day: St Germanus of Paris
