Speaking of Love…
“This is my commandment,
that you love one another,

“What is the mark of love for your neighbour?
Not to seek what is for your own benefit
but what is for the benefit of the one loved,
both in body and in soul.”
St Basil the Great (329-379)
Father & Doctor of the Church
“Since love grows within you,
so beauty grows.
For love is the beauty of the soul.”
“God is always trying to give good things to us
but our hands are too full to receive them!”
St Augustine (354-430) Father and Doctor of Grace
“Nothing is 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,
Who is above all created things.”
Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471) – Imitation of Christ
“Love knows no limit
to its endurance,
no end to its trust,
no fading of its hope,
it can outlast anything.
Love still stands,
when all else has fallen.”
AnaStpaul
