Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, 2 Thessalonians 2:3
"Jesuitism.......When appearing as members of their order, they wore a garb of sanctity, visiting prisons and hospitals, ministering to the sick and the poor, professing to have renounced the world, and bearing the sacred name of Jesus, who went about doing good. But under this blameless exterior the most criminal and deadly purposes were often concealed. It was a fundamental principle of the order that the end justifies the means. By this code, lying, theft, perjury, assassination, were not only pardonable but commendable, when they served the interests of the church. Under various disguises the Jesuits worked their way into offices of state, climbing up to be the counselors of kings, and shaping the policy of nations....The Jesuits rapidly spread themselves over Europe, and wherever they went, there followed a revival of popery."
Great Controversy p.234,235 E.G.W.
“When we are generous in welcoming people and sharing something with them—some food, a place in our homes, ourtime—not only do we no longer remain poor: we are enriched. I am well aware that when someone needing food knocks at your door, you always find a way of sharing food; as the proverb says, one can always ‘add more water to the beans’! Is it possible to add more water to the beans?…Always?…And you do so with love, demonstrating that true riches consist not in materials things, but in the heart!
(Pope Francis, Address during Visit to the Community at Varginha, 7/25/13)
