BRING INTO YOUR HOUSE THE POOR AND THOSE WHO ARE CAST OUT
WHEN YOU LEFT YOUR REPAST TO REMOVE THE DEAD, TO CONCEAL THEM IN YOUR HOUSE, AND BURY THEM AT NIGHT, I OFFERED YOUR PRAYER TO THE LORD
DO NOT BE LAZY IN VISITING THE SICK, FOR IT IS THUS THAT YOU ASSERT YOURSELF IN CHARITY
WHEN YOU SEE A NAKED MAN, CLOTHE HIM, AND DO NOT SCORN YOUR OWN FLESH
HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO FEED THE HUNGRY
GO BEFORE THOSE WHO ARE THIRSTY AND BRING THEM WATER
REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE IMPRISONED, AS IF YOU WERE IMPRISONED WITH THEM

Pierre Jean
