What Is Love?

"...the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E...focused attention. Love concentrates so intently on another that you forget yourself in that moment. Attention says, 'I value you enough to give you my most precious asset - my time.' Whenever you give your time, you are making a sacrifice and sacrifice is the essence of love." [Rick Warren - The Purpose Driven Life, Pg. 127].

We need to remember also that love "expects and deserves trust and understanding, even when it seems to overlook and hurt and ignore." [Confraternity of the Precious Blood - My Meditation On the Gospel, pg.253.]

Time to go to confession...
