Anthony de Mello on How to Love - Part 3 of 3

The Final video of the only conference Father Anthony de Mello SJ allowed to be video taped. In this last of the series he breaks open our ideas of love and true charity vs. refined self-interest that often masquerades as selfless love.

Within his talk the words of Christ can again be heard;

" ‘Beware of practising your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. ‘So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Matthew 6:1-4
