I'm reading a lesson Pere Lataste was teaching to his student brothers. He was their Novice Master.
us
to do what he himself did;
The
Lord ordered
us
to do what he himself did;
he
began loving before teaching
about
it. He gave us the greatest
proof
of his friendship he could by
having
died for us. We have to love
each
other, because we are brothers.
We
have to love each other, because
we
are members of the same
body.
Brothers in Adam, brothers
in
Jesus Christ2,
members of one
body,
which is humanity, the one
humanity
regenerated in Jesus
Christ,
our head. We have to love
even
more deeply due to the close
bounds
that unite us. It is neither
the
hazard of birth nor the hazard
of
the same country that makes
us
brothers, but the choice of God
and our own
choice.
Of course you can teach or preach without that love. That's what 99% of them do. But it's this empathetic love that makes you one of the best. Love the people. Open yourself up to them. Is that so hard?
