Behold I offered Myself altogether to the Father for thee, I give also My whole body and blood for food, that thou mightest remain altogether Mine and I thine.

I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught…

The truth-that love is the ultimate and highest goal to which one man aspire. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved.

For you, and for any dear to you, I would do anything. I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you. And when you see your own bright beauty springing up anew at your feet, think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you.

What constitutes a life well spent, anyway? Love and admiration from your fellow men is all that any one can ask.

Love must be as much a light as a flame.

Since with all my soul I behold the face of my beloved, therefore all the beauty of his form is seen in me.

Perfume is the scent that pours out of a flower's soul when crushed.

Can the spouse be better than in her husband's company? Where can the soul be better than in drawing near to God?

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." JOHN 15:12
