DP 275, 276
The love into which people were created
is love of the neighbor -
to wish as well to him as to oneself, and more,
and to experience the delight of that love
in benefiting him,
much as a parent does in benefiting his children.
This love is a truly human one,
for it has in it a spiritual component
which distinguishes it from the natural love . . ..
This in turn enables them to know
what civil evil and civil good are,
also what moral evil and moral good are,
and further, if they are willing,
what spiritual evil and spiritual good are.
