Fr. Lewis S. Fiorelli, OSFS, on Love of Neighbor

"'Cordial love of the neighbor does not consist in feelings. This love flows not from a heart of flesh but from the heart of our will.'

"These words from St. Jane de Chantal speak to the character of 'love of neighbor' that she envisions for the Sisters of the Visitation and for all who embrace Salesian spirituality.

"The virtue of 'cordiality' is central to Salesian Spirituality, for at its root is the Latin word for 'heart.' 'Heart love' is genuine, unfeigned, sincere, universal, and without condition. . . ."

In a recent commentary, V. Rev. Lewis S. Fiorelli, OSFS, reflected on the importance of our love of others, all others, being without exception, without condition.   .
