You are rewarded not according to your work or your time but according to the measure of your love.
A soul cannot live without loving. It must have something to love, for it was created to love.
Charity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.
Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.
Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion without which the soul is worth nothing.
