"In the dying to self lies the birth of the true self in God."

John of the Cross

Mystic, Poet Spanish 1542–1591

"In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone."

"The Lord's love is not earned; it is given freely to those who seek Him."

"Silence is God's first language; everything else is a poor translation."

"Where there is no love, put love, and you will find love."
