“When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think “I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.” No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, “Father, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.” He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.” ThinkingKnowsGivingSaidFatherJesusCrossesForgivingLovelyAttractiveBetrayAgonyActs Of Love Author:Timothy Keller

“I had wondered for a long time why God had preferences and why all souls did not receive an equal amount of grace [...] Jesus saw fit to enlighten me about this mystery. He set the book of nature before me and I saw that all the flowers He has created are lovely. The splendor of the rose and whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. I realized that if every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness and there would be no wild flowers to make the meadows gay.” IfsLittlesLongBookSoulWould BeWantedJesusLosesSimpleSawsGraceMysteryFlowerAmountFitGayEqualLong TimeSpringRoseI RealizedTinyLovelyCharmScentPreferenceVioletEnlighteningLiliesSplendorMeadowsDaisiesLovelinessWhiteness Author:Therese of Lisieux
