"But for our love of others to be wholly right,
God must be at its root.
NO one can love his neighbor perfectly,
unless it is in God he holds him dear.
And nobody can love his fellow-man in GO
who loves not God himself.
We must begin by loving GOod;
and then we shall be able, in Him, to love our neighbor too."
- Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) from The Way of Simplicity (Esther De Waal)
