Let no man seek his
own, but every man another’s (I Cor 10:24). That is the principle of the
saints of God, both in times past and at the present time, from all ages to the
end of the world. That is the principle of all true social structure.
On that principle can be
founded a human society
that is the most perfect, the most pleasing to God and the happiest. It
is a saving principle in every kind of difficulty that people today encounter,
against which they struggle without victory and without hope. A holy soul
cares for his neighbor, either close at hand or far away. He cares where
the homeless will spend the night, how the hungry will be fed, with what the
naked will be clothed. He cares and he prays for the salvation of his
neighbors; that their hearts may be filled with love towards God, that their
minds may be directed towards God, that the wicked may turn from the paths of
wickedness, that the hesitant may be confirmed in the Faith, that the firm may
persevere, that the departed may behold the Face of God, that the living may be
written in the book of Life in the Kingdom of Light.
