We have an obligation

Words of Life - 17 January 2018
 Saint Gregory the Theologian

The law (Deut. 22, 1-4) commands that if an animal strays or falls into a ditch, we should rescue it and take care of it. Given that people are not of any less value, it follows that we should show great kindness towards other human beings, since we have a duty to be sympathetic even to irrational beasts.
