Fullness in a person cannot permit love because there are no openings, no handles, no give-and-take, and no deep hunger.

in fact, that's largely what it means to be loving. You can hold for them what they cannot yet hold. You can transform for them what they cannot yet transform. You do that by not returning their negativity and fear in kind, as most people will do.

Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place for all.

Prayer, humility, and charity toward all are essential in the Christian life: they are the way to holiness.

Broken relationships are a source of heavy heartbreak that seem to affect every family.
