We must not be afraid to proclaim Christ’s love
and to love as he has loved us.

 
Bl. Teresa of Calcutta, 20th century

Love is had only by loving.
If you want love, you must begin by loving.
You must want to love. Once you want it,
you must open your eye to see where and how
love is to be found;
and you will find it within your very self.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

We must make no compromise
with a love that is contrary to the love of God.

 
St. Francis de Sales, 17th century

Speak of God always to praise and glorify him;
speak of your neighbor only with respect.

 
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, 17th century

Every action of our daily life
should be influenced by gentleness, temperance, humility and purity.

 
St. Francis de Sales, 17th century

Where God finds charity with its loving concern,
there he recognizes his own Fatherly care.

 
St. Leo the Great, 5th century

Without love, all we do is worthless.

 
St. Therese of Lisieux, 19th century

There is no love without renunciation.

 
St. Josemaria Escriva, 20th century
