"Christ came chiefly for this reason: that we might
learn how much God loves us, and might learn this to the end that we begin to
glow with love of him by whom we were first loved, and so might love our
neighbor at the bidding and after the example of him who made himself our
neighbor by loving us." — Augustine, quoted by
Gary A. Parrett and S. Steve Kang in Teaching the Faith, Forming the Faithful (Downers
Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 2009), 61
(HT: Of First Importance)
