“Do you grasp the excellence of a Christian disposition? After you give your coat and your cloak even if your enemy should wish to subject your naked body to hardships and labors not even then Jesus says must you forbid him. For He would have us possess all things in common both our bodies and our goods as with them that are in need so with them that insult us. For the latter response comes from a courageous spirit the former from mercy.” . – St John Chrysostom . . #Mercy #GoTheExtraMile #GodlyW
