Quien ofende a Dios, se daña a sí mismo y daña al prójimo Quiero hacerte saber cómo toda virtud y todo defecto repercuten en el prójimo. Quien vive en odio y enemistad conmigo, no sólo se daña a sí mismo, sino que daña a su prójimo. Le causa daño porque estáis obligados a amar al prójimo como a vosotros mismos, ya sea ayudándole espiritualmente con la oración, aconsejándole de palabra o socorriéndole espiritual y materialmente, según sea su necesidad. Quien no me ama a mí, no ama al prójimo; al no amarlo, no lo socorre. Se daña a sí mismo, privándose de la gracia, y causa daño al prójimo, porque toda ayuda que le ofrezca no puede provenir más que del afecto que le tiene por amor a mí. No hay pecado que no alcance al prójimo. Al no amarme a mí, tampoco lo quiere a él.

Additional quotes by Catherine of Siena

"Also in America, the Redemptorist priest and founder of the Paulist order, Fr. Isaac Hecker, was a great admirer of St. Catherine, seeing in her the perfect foil to those who claimed that Catholicism promotes a mechanical piety or fosters a sanctity unconcerned with the real needs of suffering humanity in society. To the latter charge he replied forcefully:
"Read the life of St. Catherine, and in imagination fancy her in the city hospital of Genoa, charged not only with the supervision and responsibility of its finances, but also overseeing the care of its sick inmates, taking an active, personal part in its duties as one of its nurses, and conducting the whole establishment with strict economy, perfect order, and the tenderest care and love!

Infinite grief I wish from My creature in two ways: in one way, through her sorrow for her own sins, which she has committed against Me her Creator; in the other way, through her sorrow for the sins which she sees her neighbors commit against Me.
