Closeness to others is born from God’s love poured into our hearts. Chiara reminds us to see every person as another self, overcoming selfishness with kindness.

Ipadama ang Pagiging Malapit

Ngunit sino ang makapagbibigay sa atin ng ganoon kalaking puso at makapupukaw sa atin ng ganoong antas ng kabutihan na madama nating malapit at ituring na kapwa ang mga taong hindi kagaya natin? Sino ang makapagpapalampas sa ating pagmamahal sa sarili upang makilala ang iba bilang isa pang sarili? Ito ay isang kaloob mula sa Diyos. Tunay na ito ang mismong pag-ibig ng Diyos na ibinuhos sa ating mga puso sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo na ipinagkaloob sa atin.

Make Your Closeness Felt

But who can give us such a big heart and stir up in us such a degree of kindness that we feel close to, and regard as neighbors, those who are least like us? Who can make us overcome our self-love, so as to recognize others as another self? It is a gift from God. Indeed it is the very love of God which has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
