The Most Important of These is Charity

A quote from Catherine:

Remember, if there were a hundred regulations to be observed, the most important of these is charity.

This sounds a lot like St. Paul. And who could go wrong with Paul? I think sometime we hide behind the "rules" so we don't have to expend ourselves to be of service or of charity to others.

I think that is what Catherine was trying to say. The rules are there to govern our lives, but charity goes beyond rules and supersedes the rules at times.
For me, I need to see how the rules hinder me from risking, from trying something new and from getting out of my comfort zone. How about you?
