Francis de Sales (1567-1622):
"Truly charity has no limit; for the love of God has been poured into our hearts by His Spirit dwelling in each one of us, calling us to a life of devotion and inviting us to bloom in the garden where He has planted and directing us to radiate the beauty and spread the fragrance of His Providence."
"Truly charity has no limit; for the love of God has been poured into our hearts by His Spirit dwelling in each one of us, calling us to a life of devotion and inviting us to bloom in the garden where He has planted and directing us to radiate the beauty and spread the fragrance of His Providence."

Charity is, above all,
friendship.
For one who is hungry, it is a
plate of soup.
For one who is sad, it is a
consoling word.
For one who is evil, it is the
patience that we must achieve to be of assistance.
For one who is desperate, it is
the heartfelt aid.
For one who is ignorant, it is
an unpretentious teaching.
For one who is ungrateful, it
is to forget.
For one who is ill, it is a
personal visit.
For the student, it is a
learning opportunity.
For the children, it is
constructive support.
For the elderly, it is a
brotherly shoulder.
For the antagonist, it is the
silence.
For a friend, it is the
stimulus.
For one who is misguided, it is
understanding.
For one who is proud, it is
humility.
For one who is hotheaded, it is
calm.
For one who is lazy, it is work
without imposition.
For the impulsive, it is
serenity.
For the thoughtless, it is
tolerance.
For the slanderer, it is a kind
remark.
For the disinherited of Earth,
it is a tender expression.
Charity is love, in an
incessant and increased manifestation.
It is the Sun of a thousand
faces, shining upon all; it is the genii of a thousand hands, aiding,
indistinctly in the work of goodness. ..
... Wherever you may be, among
the just or the unjust, the good or the evil, happiness or unhappiness...
… Wherever the Spirit of the
Lord is present, there will the perpetual clarity for the benefit of the entire
human race be scattered.

Lesson CLXVII
“The greatness of a man can be measured by his capacity for
service to his fellow man, and for humility and love.
Great men stand out and cast a shadow. Wherever great men
meet there is an unquenchable light, pointing the liberating way. The true
heroes are unknown. They are more concerned with helping than with
advertising their own acts.
Become one of them, in the silence of your
achievements and the greatness of your smallness."

The Butterfly Project
Butterflies symbolize different things to different cultures. In Early Christianity[1], the butterfly was a symbol of the soul. Commonly, the Butterfly symbolizes change and transformation; this ensues when an ordinary caterpillar metamorphose into a beautiful butterfly.
When we
strive to become moral individuals – the so called inner-transformation – something
similar to the Butterfly’s life cycle happens. We metamorphose the old Self
into a new Self, changing deep-rooted and unhealthy habits into new, healthy
ones.
It is a
continuous, gradual process that requires individual discipline and
determination. A process wherein one’s Thought
aligned with Will propels them towards
their moral and intellectual progress[2].
Looking for materials and tools to help us on this journey;
challenging our ways of thinking, learning to create new habits and behavior -
the Butterfly Project proposes the study, reflection and practical application
of the study matter;
Let’s
get inspired to work on our inner-transformation, to make every effort to
become a better person, and to understand our role and duties in life.
Let’s put
our moral transformation in a project mode!
