Learn to love by loving…
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
–Saint Francis De Sales (1567-1622)
Sacrament of love…
The many wonders of creation can only fill us with astonishment and admiration. But when we speak of the most holy Eucharist we can say that here is to be found the miracle of divine love for us…. Has there been, or will there ever be, a nobler or more magnanimous love than that which He has shown us in the sacrament of love?
–-Saint John Vianney (1786-1859)
Love for God and neighbor…
The Lord wants us to love one another. Here is freedom: in love for God and neighbor. In this freedom, there is equality. In earthly orders, there may not be equality, but this is not important for the soul. Not everyone can be a king, not everyone a patriarch or a boss. But in any position it is possible to love God and to please Him, and only this is important. And whoever loves God more on earth will be in greater glory in His Kingdom.
–Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938)
Nothing sweeter than love…
Nothing sweeter than love, nothing stronger or higher or wider, nothing is more pleasant, nothing fuller, and nothing better in heaven or on earth, for love is born of God and cannot rest except in God.
–Saint Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471)
Love feels no…
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.
–Saint Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471)
Those who really love God…
Those who really love God love all good, seek all good, help forward all good, praise all good, and invariably join forces with good people and help and defend them. They love only truth and things worthy of love.
–Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)
