Frank Duff himself always carried in his heart a positive disposition of friendship to all people and he in his way really lived out those words of Our Lord, “Whatever house you enter, let your first words be: Peace to this house!” If people find in us a spirit of genuine friendship and goodwill towards them, even if they are odd as two left feet or if they be negative souls who moan and gripe about things, we can already begin to open doors to their hearts. Once we keep in mind that this other person—no matter how deformed or disfigured—is a child of God whom the heavenly Father loves surely we must greet them with love and peace.
