“The litmus test of our love for God is our love of neighbor.”
“Suffering is how we test our love especially our love for God.”
“To love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and our neighbor as ourself.”
“The real test of progress is how we love God and our neighbor. Everything else is fluff, and potentially dangerous fluff, at that. It gets in the eyes, so that we no longer see clearly as God sees”
“We love neither God nor our neighbor as we should. Our love in spiritual things is "too defective, in worldly things too excessive, there is a jar in both." We love the world too much; God too little; our neighbor not at all, or for our own ends.”
“But for Mozart love is only the litmus test. To determine whether one is truly free or not.”
