A Person Who Loves His Neighbor Loves God

anthony_figure_webChildren of the devil know how to cut us off from God, for they know that a person who loves his neighbor loves God. For this cause, as enemies of virtue, they sow in our hearts pretense about what is our own, and this becomes like kindling wood, filling us with great enmity against one another so that we do not speak with our neighbor even from a distance.

St. Antony
Letter 2[6].II
