Compassion is the highest virtue! proclaims Gregory Nazianzen in a
homily on illness and poverty. Embrace the sick without fear of
contagion—leprosy in his case—and care for the poor, for they are Christ
to you. Therefore, “Let us visit Christ, let us heal Christ, let us
feed Christ, let us clothe Christ, let us welcome Christ” in the person
of the poor and suffering.
