God's love has well been described as a sphere
whose center is everywhere, dose circumference
is at inhity or nowhere. The same truth is
aptly illustrated by Our Lord's metaphor for
divine charity, which compares it to a fire: 'I
came to send fire upon the earth, and what will
I but that it be kindled;' 'Let your light shine
before men;' 'Let your lamps be burning in
your hands.'
"It is by keeping alive and fostering in our own
hearts the fire of God's love, the light of God's
truth, that we shall most effectually diffuse light
and warmth to others. Spontaneously, and without
conscious effort on our part, the light will
shine from us, and the warmth radiate from us;
we shall make ourselves felt without knowing it;
'Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand
doth.'
"St. Paul knows nothing of the altruism which
saves others and cares not to save itself; which
seeks for others a vague, undefined happiness,
unknown, unsought for, unvalued by itself;
which throws itself into labors involving patience,
self-conq(lest, prudence, fortitude, temperance,
and all virtues, before these virtues have been
others is therefore
