raining and reading... what could be better?

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Do not desert a friend in time of need, nor forsake him nor fail him, for friendship
is the support of life. Let us then bear our burdens as the Apostle has taught (cf. Gal. 6:2):
for he spoke to those whom the charity of the same one body had embraced together. If
friends in prosperity help friends, why do they not also in times of adversity offer
their support? Let us aid by giving counsel, let us offer our best endeavors, let us
sympathize with them with all our heart."

St. Ambrose
