Love, Wisdom, Jesus

....it is of the very essence of Christianity to face suffering and death not because they are good, not because they have meaning, but because the resurrection of Jesus has robbed them of their meaning.

Wisdom, Jesus, Essence

Spread abroad the name of Jesus in humility and with a meek heart; show him your feebleness, and he will become your strength.

Thomas Merton
Jesus, Humility, Heart

It is by the Holy Spirit that we love those who are united to us in Christ. The more plentifully we have received of the Spirit of Christ, the more perfectly we are able to love them: and the more we love them the more we receive the Spirit. It is clear, however, that since we love them by the Spirit Who is given to us by Jesus, it is Jesus Himself Who loves them in us.
