愛是進步:一點一點地操練美德

「如果你的仇人餓了,你要給他飯吃;渴了,應給他水渴,因為你這樣作,是將炭火堆在他頭上。」(羅十二20)

如果我們越是在心中滋生那些小小的怨恨,就越難改善自己。 我們餵它越多,它就越紮根。 我們渴望在愛的方面成長嗎? 就必須要付諸實踐。 因此,一點一點地操練,美德就變得更容易了。(CSAS 59:6)

Love is progressive

If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink, for by doing this, you will heap burning coals on their heads (Rom. 12:20).

The more we nurture small hostilities in our heart, the harder it is to correct them. The more we feed them, the more they take root. Do we want to grow in love? Then, let us put it into practice. Thus, little by little, virtue becomes easier.
