“God is love, and whoever remains in love, remains in God and God in them” - 1 John 4:16

"The infinite love that is the architect of our hearts has made our hearts in such a way that nothing less than an infinite union with infinite love will do. It's the setup in the beginning. . . . That infinite love creates you as a capacity for love, for love's sake alone. That love is our destiny, love is the fabric of the true nature of everything that's happening. This is the love nature of life." —James Finley, Intimacy: The Divine Ambush

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13

"Throughout the time of my showings, I wished to know what our Beloved meant. More than fifteen years later, the answer came in a spiritual vision. This is what I heard. “Would you like to know our Lord’s meaning in all this? Know it well: love was his meaning. Who revealed this to you? Love. What did he reveal to you? Love. Why did he reveal it to you? For love. Stay with this and you will know more of the same. You will never know anything but love, without end.”

And so what I saw most clearly was that love is his meaning. God wants us to know that he loved us before he even made us, and this love has never diminished and never will. All his actions unfold from this love, and through this love he makes everything that happens of value to us, and in this love we find everlasting life. Our creation has a starting point, but the love in which he made us has no beginning, and this love is our true source." - Julian of Norwich, per https://cac.org/love-revealed-2021-04-06/

"Take my life into Your hands at last. Do whatever You want with it. I give myself to Your love—rejecting neither the hard things nor the pleasant things You have arranged for me. . . . Everything You have planned is good. It is all love." - Thomas Merton, per http://email.cac.org/t/d-01DE02C7310F03192540EF23F30FEDED
