“People do not think of others, they don\u2019t go beyond themselves; their thoughts constantly revolve around themselves. But when they revolve around themselves, they have themselves at the center, not Christ. They function outside the axis which is Christ. In order to be able to think of others, the mind must first be with Christ. Then one can also consider the neighbor, the animals and all of nature. His radio station is working and, as soon as a message is received, he runs to help. If our mind is not on Christ, the heart is not working, and, as such, we love neither Christ nor our fellow human beings, not to mention nature, the animals, the trees, the plants.”
