Your love and my love and everybody's love is one Love, grounded in God.


"'Love is repaid by love alone' says St. John of the Cross.  So what can I give you by way of thanks?  I offer you your own charity, which is in you from Christ, through the Holy Spirit - and which is, insofar as it is of and from Him - my charity also and everybody's charity, and is the same infinite and simple and eternal act of Love, in Whom we are all one."

Thomas Merton
