The love of God frees us from slavery.

God asks so little and gives so much,
in this life and in the next,
to those who love him sincerely.

 
St. Gregory Nazianzen 4th century

Though we were sinners, the Father sent his only Son
to free us from the tyranny of Satan, to summon us to heaven,
to welcome us into its innermost recesses, to show us truth itself,
to train us in right conduct, to plant within us the seeds of virtue,
to enrich us with the treasures of his grace,
and to make us children of God and heirs of eternal life.

 
St. Charles Borromeo, 16th century

Consider how great is the grace of our Redeemer
and how great is the abundance of his sweetness.

 
St. Bede the Venerable, 8th century

God created us for love,
he takes care of us for love,
and for love he has promised us the prize.

 
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, 20th century

God loves, and can do anything.
God respects the freedom he gave to humankind,
but God does not hold back when freely giving graces.

 
Bl. Charles de Foucauld, 20th century

We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution.
Each of us is the result of a thought of God.
Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary.

 
Benedict XVI, 21st century

Let us not be insensible to Christ’s loving kindness.
