“Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives – that is the way the world judges it – but the joy and peace it can purchase for others.”

-Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

For Reflection:

Love is not emotion as much as it is a decision of the will. How can I show love today according to the prescriptive of this quote?
