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

God Is Love: Deus Caritas Est | Pope Benedict XVI

"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."

God Is Love: Deus Caritas Est | Pope Benedict XVI

"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."
