Saint of the Day

St. Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621)
Robert was a Jesuit priest and the chair of theology at the Roman College. While teaching, he wrote a number of great works, including several catechisms. He was St. Aloysius Gonzaga's spiritual director, and helped St. Francis de Sales. He went on to become a Provincial, and later a Cardinal.

Reflections from the Saints

Charity is that with which no man is lost, and without which no man is saved.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2415

The seventh commandment enjoins respect for the integrity of creation. Animals, like plants and inanimate beings, are by nature destined for the common good of past, present, and future humanity. Use of the mineral, vegetable, and animal resources of the universe cannot be divorced from respect for moral imperatives. Man's dominion over inanimate and other living beings granted by the Creator is not absolute; it is limited by concern for the quality of life of his neighbor, including generations to come; it requires a religious respect for the integrity of creation.
