Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
Glossa Ordinaria
Do not love the world. Use the world for necessity, but do not love it to excess. And make not provision for the flesh in its desires. Do not love the world. One heart does not hold two loves opposed to each other. Rooted in charity, build nothing upon this root except what befits charity, because you cannot serve two masters. As the love of God is the fount of all virtues, so the love of the world is the fount of all vices.
