Love

So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Those immersed in the love of God feel love for all things.

God hugs you. You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God.

Love, sooner or later, forces us out of time… Of all that we feel and do, all the virtues and all the sins, love alone crowds us at last over the edge of the world.

At the bottom, we discover water, the healing water of bodhichitta. Right down there in the thick of things, we discover the love that will not die.

The language of love is the language of the heart. It is the language of experience. It is the language of mysticism.

Love is the most powerful force for change in the world. When we love each other, we create a more just, compassionate, and peaceful world.

Compassion is a mind that savors only mercy and love for all sentient beings.

Love of all creatures is also love of God, for whoever loves the One God loves all the works He has made.

It is the love of God that flows through all creation… Humanity is called to participate in this love by caring for the earth and all its creatures.

What causes our mind and body to resonate 100 percent and brings them into the realm of oneness? It is not God’s wisdom or power. It is only love.

When you understand, you cannot help but love…

We are part of the natural world, and we need to understand our place in it and learn to live in harmony with nature.

Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

Now that I have attained unto the Society of the Saints: I am estranged with no one: nor is anyone a stranger to me, indeed, I am the friend of all.

Extend all the boundaries of the glowing kingdom of your love, gradually including within them your family, your neighbors, your community, your country, all countries; in short, all living sentient creatures.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them…

If you desire with all your heart, friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive, will spread until it reaches the minds of all men.

I believe that the world was created and approved by love, that it subsists, coheres, and endures by love, and that, insofar as it is redeemable, it can be redeemed only by love.

My religion is to live through Love… I’ve beat this drum of Love for so long, for you whom I adore, singing: “My life depends upon my dying.”

The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well.

The day will come when, after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love.

The more love you give away, the more love you will have.

The more you love, the more your love grows. Love does not disappear; instead it prospers.

The purpose of prayer and religious seeking is to see the truth about reality, is to see what is. And at the bottom of what is is always goodness. The foundation is always love.

We can feel the kind of infinite joy and love that God felt when He created the earth for us. When we do so, we can live each day with a heart of love and gratitude.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

As a mother protects her only child at the risk of her own life, let him cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

An individual can be called mature when his or her mind and body function in harmony through true love.

Nature and Grace are in harmony with each other… God is two in manner of working and one in love.

Those who discovered for us the Law of Love were greater scientists than any of our modern scientists.

Of all that we feel and do, all the virtues and all the sins, love alone crowds us at last over the edge of the world.
