“Quia amasti me, fecisti me amabilem. (In loving me, you made me lovable.)”

“The love of Christ embraces all without exception.Fire of love, crazy over what You have made. Oh, divine Madman. (Prayer of Catherine Siena)Simply do the next thing in love. I have no sense of myself apart from you.Quia amasti me, fecisti me amabilem. (In loving me, you made me lovable.)”

“Please don’t hate you??!! I hate that I love you. Loving you made me waste a year of my life. Lovingyou made me be passionate about nothing but you. Loving you made me take risks I never would haveotherwise. Loving you made me give it up to you. Loving you made me neglect my parents and Amy.Loving you made me not care that my grandma just died. Loving you made me turn out bitter andhopeless like her. Loving you made me hate myself for being dumped by you. Loving you made medeluded, irrational, inconsiderate, and a liar. And because I love you, you’re always going to haunt me.”

“You love me?”“Baby, you were made for me.”

“I never expected you to love me, I didn't see any reason that you should, I never thought myself very lovable.”

“Knowing myself as the sinner enables me to know something more: a God of mercy--something greater, for love responds to what is good and lovable; mercy responds to what is not good and makes it good and lovable.”
