“True love is willing to warn, reprove, confront or admonish when necessary.”

“The test of love is that it gives even when there is no expectation of a return.”

“If you can't do great things, Mother Teresa used to say, do little things with great love. If you can't do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can't do them with a little love, do them anyway.Love grows when people serve.”

“When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us.”

“True repentance never leads to despair. Its leads home. It leads to grace.”

“There is such a love, a love that creates value in what is loved. There is a love that turns rag dolls into priceless treasures. There is a love that fastens itself onto ragged little creatures, for reasons that no one could ever quite figure out, and makes them precious and valued beyond calculation. This is love beyond reason. This is the love of God.”

“Love me, love my rag dolls," God says. It's a package deal.”
