Teresa of Avila on Loving Our Neighbor

Our Lord asks but two things of us; Love for [God] and for our neighbor. We cannot know whether we love God ... but there can be no doubt about whether we love our neighbor or no.
- Teresa of Avila

Hmmm....

But we actually do know that we love God - if we love our neighbour....

Isn't that what John means in his first letter...?

(Therese is one of my favourite saints, btw.)
