Before the last tribulation cometh, shall come many other + tribulations: and, by the many woes which shall come first, shall be foreshadowed the + everlasting woe which shall come in the end.

Whosoever shall do the will of My Father, Which is in heaven, the + same is My brother, and sister, and mother.

Quæ ergo contempta ad melius ducitur, + quasi per odium amatur. Sic nimirum exhibere proximis nostris odii discretionem + debemus, ut in eis et diligamus quod sunt, et habeamus odio quod in Dei nobis itinere + obsistunt. + en: >- + If we consider, dearly beloved brethren, what and how great are the things that are + promised us in heaven, all things that are possessed on earth grow worthless in our + sight. For earthly substance, compared to the felicity above, is a burden, not a help. + This present life, compared to the life eternal, ought rather to be called death than + life; for what else is this daily wasting away of our corruption but a certain + lengthening-out of death? But what tongue can tell, or what understanding can grasp, + how great are the joys of that city above -- to share the choirs of Angels, to stand + with the most blessed spirits in the glory of our Maker, to behold the very Face of + God, to see the light that knoweth no bound, to be touched by no fear of death, and to + rejoice in the gift of everlasting incorruption? But when we hear these things our + heart is kindled, and already longs to be present there, where it hopes to rejoice + without end. Yet we cannot come to such great rewards, except through great labors. + Whence Paul, that excellent preacher, saith: He shall not be crowned, unless he shall + have striven lawfully. + + + Let, then, the greatness of the rewards delight the mind, but let not the struggle of + the labors deter it. Whence the Truth saith to those who come to Him: If any man come + to Me and hate not his father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and + sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. But it is fitting to ask + how we are commanded to hate our parents and those near to us in the flesh, we who are + also bidden to love even our enemies. And indeed the Truth saith of a wife: What God + hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And Paul saith: Husbands, love your + wives, even as Christ also loved the Church. Behold, the disciple preaches that a wife + is to be loved, while the Master says: Whoever does not hate his wife cannot be My + disciple. Does the judge, then, proclaim one thing, and the herald cry another? Can we + both hate and love at the same time? But if we weigh the force of the precept, we are + able to do both through discernment: that we may love our wife, and those joined to us + by kinship of the flesh, and those whom we know as our neighbors; and that, as for + those whom we suffer as adversaries in the way of God, we may not know them, but hate + and flee from them. + + + For he is, as it were, loved through hatred, when the one who is carnally minded, while + pressing wicked counsel upon us, is not heeded. But that the Lord might show that this + hatred toward our neighbors proceeds not from ill-will but from charity, He added at + once that we must also hate our own soul. It is clear, then, that he who hates his + neighbor as he hates himself must hate him out of love. For then do we rightly hate our + own soul, when we do not yield to its carnal desires, when we break its appetite, and + resist its pleasures. That which, being held in contempt, is thereby led to something + better, is, as it were, loved through hatred. So indeed ought we to show toward our + neighbors this discernment of hatred: that in them we may love what they are, while + hating what stands in the way of God within them. + status: { la: verified, en: draft }
