He who will not love enemies will not be able to truly know the Lord and the sweetness of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us to love enemies so that the soul labors for them as for true children.

Chi non amerà i nemici non potrà conoscere veramente il Signore e la dolcezza dello Spirito Santo. Lo Spirito santo ci insegna ad amare i nemici così che l'anima si affanna per loro come per i veri figli.
