Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn''t touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Nothing is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life. The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of things longer.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don''t know how to replenish it''s source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.
