Charity means love of God above everything, and love of man equal to the love of yourself.
In this you do not ask for great reward or relief, but want nothing but God himself.
You will have no special regard for anyone, relative or stranger, friend or enemy. All people are your relatives and no-one is a stranger. Consider everyone a friend and no-one an enemy.
Especially for those who cause you problems, wish them as much good as you would to your closest friend.
