The Rotary Balita no. 718 (April 9, 1953)

If a friend of mine... gave a feast, and did not invite me to go to it, I should not mind a bit. But if a friend of mine had a SORROW and refused to allow me to share it, I would feel it most bitterly. If he shuts the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again. and again and beg to be admitted, so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I would feel it as the most poignant humiliation, as the most terrible mode for which disgrace could be inflicted on me... he who can look on the loveliness of the world and share its sorrow, and realize something of the wonder of both, is in immediate contact with divine things, and has got as near to God's secret as anyone can get.
