Nails were not enough to hold God-and-man nailed and fastened on the Cross, had not love held Him there.
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 SienaO my soul, what are you doing? Are you not aware that God sees you always? You can never hide yourself from His sight. O Father, have pity on us because we are blind and in darkness. Drive out the darkness and give me light. Melt the ice of my self-love and kindle in me the fire of Your charity.
St. Catherine of Siena
