You must give what will cost you something. This, then, is not just giving what you can live without but what you can't live without or don't want to live without, something you really like.

Hurt, Sacrifice, Giving

Catholic, Sincere, Accepting

Mother Teresa (2016). “No Greater Love, Commemorative Edition”, p.45, New World Library
