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. When we feel love and respect for nature, we are less likely to harm it.

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.

Nature and Grace are in harmony with each other. For Grace is God as Nature is God.

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.

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.

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. 

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

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.”

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

When you understand, you cannot help but love…

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

True love can be felt only through experience and acquired through life.

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

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

Extend the boundaries of the glowing kingdom of your love…

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

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