REFLECTIONS AND QUOTES

May the Lord give you a humble love which expends itself;
          a generous love which forgets itself;
     a strong love which is not afraid of pain;
a stable love which does not change;
          a patient love which can bear everything;
     a fervent love which never weakens;
a constant love which never falters.

     Words of Blessed Angela from SELECTED
     WRITINGS III, P. 134 A BLESSING OF BLESSED ANGELA

I wish you especially the love with which Jesus loved us;

     so that your every step,

          every deed,

               every suffering may be an act

                    and proof of that love,

So that you might be able to say:

          I live now, not I, Christ lives in me.
