Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Good works are links that form a chain of love. I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God. If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. If you judge people, you have no time to love them. God does not ask us to do great things, just small things with great love. Intense love does not measure, it just gives. Jesus said love one another. He didn't say love the whole world. Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action. Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. Sweetest Lord, make me appreciative of the dignity of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience. The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done. We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. Words which do not give the light of Love increase the darkness.
