In his letter to the Colossians, Blessed Paul the Apostle said "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience." In his first letter to the Thessalonians, he said "See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone." So much of Saint Paul's ministry is related to kindness. Perhaps my favorite of all the things he said comes from his first letter to the Corinthians: "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
