"What shall I do to love my neighbor?"

"Stop hating yourself."

The disciple pondered those words long and seriously and came back to say,
"But I love myself too much, for I am selfish and self-centered. How do I
get rid of that?"

"Be friendly to yourself and your self will be contented and it will set
you free to love your neighbor."

Anthony de Mello, S.J.


MORSEL: The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you, the
better you will hear what is sounding outside. And only she who listens
can speak. --Dag Hammerskjold
