Love is god...
First Love yourself...
Then love others...
Then love this world...

"St. Paul... teaches us that it is always more than activity alone: 'If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.' (v. 3). This hymn must be the Magna Carta of all ecclesial service.... Practical activity will always be insufficient unless it visibly expresses a love for man, a love nourished by an encounter with Christ."
"The Church can never be exempted from practicing charity as an organized activity of believers, and on the other hand, there will never be a situation where the charity of each individual Christian is unnecessary, because in addition to justice man needs, and will always need, love."
