Heavenly Doctrine (Chadwick) n. 94

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

94. The church is more the neighbour than one's country, because anyone who cares for the church cares for the souls and everlasting life of the people of his country. So anyone who cares for the church out of love loves the neighbour in a higher degree, since heaven and happiness of life for ever is what he seeks and wants for others.
