“Thou shall love the Lord with thy whole heart, soul, and mind. This is the commandment of the Great God, and he cannot command the impossible. Love is a fruit in season at all times and within reach of every hand. Anyone may gather it and no limit is set. Everyone can reach this love through meditation, spirit of prayer, and sacrifice by an intense inner life. There is no limit because God is love, love is God, God's love is infinite. But part is to love and to give until it hurts. That's why it is not how much you do, but how much love you put into the action.” GivingMindHeartMaySoulWholeHandsActionSpiritHurtPrayerLove IsLordMeditationImpossibleSacrificeLove YouLimitsSeasonsInfiniteFruitIntenseCommandAll TimeCommandmentsIt HurtsGod's LoveInner LifeGod Is LoveMuch LoveWithin ReachImpossible Love Author:Mother Teresa
“Our weapons are the ironic mind against the literal: the open mind against the credulous; the courageous pursuit of truth against the fearful and abject forces who would set limits to investigation (and who stupidly claim that we already have all the truth we need).

“When you love someone, that love has no limit, no measure, because you know in your deepest being that when that love demands sacrifice, you will give it without question.
