Love has no meaning if it isn't shared. We have been created for greater things - to love and to be loved... To love a person without any conditions, without any expectations. Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace. To love, it is necessary to give. To give, it is necessary to be free from selfishness.

Abortion is murder in the womb...A child is a gift of God. If you do not want him, give him to me.

Jesus, I love you. Jesus, I love you.
