An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not by reception.
Man''s love is of man''s life a part; it is a woman''s whole existence. In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don''t have to have a college degree to serve. You don''t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. you only need a heart full of grace. a soul generated by love.
Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured - yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more than any material possession ever could.
