FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

"You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mat 5:48);

"Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful"(Lk 6:36);

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another,

even as I have loved you, that you also love one another."(Jn 13:34)

.

It is impossible to keep the Lord’s commandment by imitating the divine model from outside;

there has to be a vital participation, coming from the depths of the heart,

in the holiness and the mercy and the love of our God.

.

Only the Spirit by whom we live can make ours the same mind that was in Christ Jesus. […]
