Love

Don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds! Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height? If then you aren't able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith? Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things. But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.

	Love

13:1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

13:3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

13:4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

13:5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 13:6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.

The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians

How to love your neighbor

Respect everyone - Christ lives in everyone.
Be sensitive to others - they are your brothers and sisters.

Think well of everyone - think ill of no one.
Try to find something good even in the worst circumstances.

Always speak well of others - do not cast a slur on anyone.
Repair any harm resulting from an uttered word.
Do not provoke strife between people.

Speak to everyone in the language of love.
Do not raise your voice. Do not swear.
Do not vex others. Do not provoke tears.
Reassure others. Show a kind heart.

Forgive everyone everything. Do not hold grudges.
Always be the first to extend your hand as a sign of reconciliation.

Act always to your neighbour's advantage.
Do good things to others, as you would like them done to you.
Never give a thought to what others owe you, but always to what you owe them.

Be actively compassionate in times of suffering.
Be quick to offer consolation, council, assistance, and kindness.

Work conscientiously - others benefit from the fruits of your labour.
just as you benefit from the labour of others.

Be active in your community.
Be open to the poor and the sick. Share your goods.
Try to see the needs of those around you.

10.

Pray for everyone, even your enemies.

Cardinal
Stefan Wyszyński
