Jimmy Carter, in his book Sources of Strength, tells about interviewing Eloy Cruz, an admirable Cuban pastor, who had tremendous rapport with poor immigrants from Puerto Rico. "What is the secret to your success?" asked Carter. Pastor Cruz replied, "Señor Jimmy, we need to have only two loves for our lives, love for God and love for the person who happens to be in front of us at any time."
