I was answered in spiritual understanding, and it was said: What, do you wish to know your Lord’s meaning in this thing? Know it well, love was his meaning. Who reveals it to you? Love.

God’s generosity, goodness, and love…
Let popes, pastors, and everyone else blush for shame at our foolishness and pride and self-indulgence, when we see such generosity, goodness, and boundless love on our Creator’s part!

Where there is no love, put love — and you will find love.
–Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591)
