We have learned out of love for God
to "make ourselves one"
with our neighbour through charity, because it is Jesus present in our neighbour
to implement what is written in Scripture: "weep with those who
weep, laugh with those who laugh."
We had to make ourselves one with the thoughts of the other, with the
trials of the other, with the pain and anxiety, but also the joys and
achievements. We got to know the tastes and likes even the smallest and most
insignificant ones, provided they were not sin.
Like God, become human for us, and as man was died out of love on the cross, so
must be the measure of our love for our neighbour: to make us one with the other, ready to die
for one another: this is the fitness regime of the spiritual life dictated by
love. I have to become nothing out of love, give everything out of love for my neighbour.
