Hand to the Work

According to the love we bear our neighbor, we know if we love God. These two loves are never separated one from the other. As we advance in one, we make progress in the other. This rule is certain. Examine your love for God; if it be perfect, so is that of your neighbor. But be not of those who say they will do much for their neighbor and never put their hand to the work.

-- St. Teresa
