In What Should We Glory?
"We shouldn't flatter ourselves and boast about doing what any sinner can do. A sinner can fast, pray, weep, mortify the flesh. But this a sinner cannot do: Remain faithful to the Lord. Therefore this is what we should glory in: Rendering glory to our Lord, serving him faithfully, and acknowledging as his whatever he gives us." --Celano, Second Life, 134
And how do we do this? Love one another....because in doing so, we shall fulfill the law of the Lord.
