True charity is not self-seeking, but goes all the way for the honor and glory of God. The charitable man envies no one, nor does he seek his own pleasure, but desires above all things to find his joy in God.
How well he knows that no good begins in man and so he refers all to God, fromWhom all things come and in Whom all the Saints find their eternal blessedness. If he had only a spark of real charity, he would know in his soul that all earthly things are vain.
