TCR 417
. . . what makes a human being human
is not having a human face and a human body,
but the wisdom in his understanding
and the goodness in his will.
TCR 419
A person who loves good because it is good,
and truth because it is true,
is the one who above all loves the neighbor,
because he loves the Lord,
who is good itself and truth itself.
There is no other source of the love of good
and of truth from good,
and so of the neighbor.
This is how love towards the neighbor is formed
from its heavenly origin.
It makes no difference
whether we say service or good;
performing services is doing good,
and good deeds are good
depending to what extent
and in what way
they are of use.
