LEARNING TO LOVE

Jesus declared: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”  (Matthew 22:37-39)

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love God and [neighbor] by loving.  Begin as a mere apprentice, and the very power of love will lead you on to become a master of the art.

-- Saint Francis of Sales (1567-1622)
