“Love of self, neighbor and God are not three separate and distinct forms of loving. Learning to love one’s neighbor is, at the same time, learning to love God. The love we hold for ourselves deepens as we allow our neighbor and God more and more to come into our hearts.” – Fr. James Stephen Behrens, O.C.S.O.
