It is the nature of love to love as much as we feel we are loved and to love whatever the one we love loves.
St. Catherine of SienaCharity is the sweet and holy bond which links the soul with its Creator: it binds God with man and man with God.
St. Catherine of SienaO unfathomable depth! O Deity eternal! O deep ocean! What more could You give me than to give me Yourself?
St. Catherine of SienaEverything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.
St. Catherine of SienaThis my goodness does to endow the souls of the just more fully with spiritual riches when for my love they are stripped of material goods because they have renounced the world and all its pleasures and even their own will. These are the ones who fatten their souls, enlarging them in the abyss of my charity. Then I become their spiritual provider. The Holy Spirit becomes their servant.
