God formed us for His pleasure, and so formed us that we as well as He can in divine communion enjoy the sweet and mysterious mingling of kindred personalities. He meant us to see Him and live with Him and draw our life from His smile.

Wherever we find Jesus is the perfect place to worship.

Unselfish love does not exploit its object and it does not ask for anything in return.
