Recognizing the presence of the
others is a valuable virtue. Without the other, you do not exist. In the 20
letters of St. Anthony, Samuel Rubenson mentioned that one important quality of
St. Anthony the Great is that in order to be saved, you should lead others too
to their ways of salvation. This reminds me of a quote from the Indian creed, “the
hurt of one is the hurt of all and the honour of one is the honour of all,” which
also coincides with what the blessed St. Paul said to his disciples Timothy in
his first epistle “For
this is good and acceptable in
the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come
to the knowledge of the truth” (2:3-4).
