Fourth Sunday of Lent

"To give the poor from one's own possessions, and to cover the naked on seeing them, to love the neighbor as oneself, not to do iniquity or falsehood, are things commanded also by the old law. But perfection in behavior, according to the new covenant, commands thus: If a man takes from you, do not demand back; give every one who asks from you. And not only have you to suffer gladly iniquitous dealing in possessions and other outward things, but you have even to give yourself in behalf of your neighbor" (from The Mystical Treatises of Isaac of Niniveh, Homily 4, 43).
