Reading As Love Quotes

“But finally, what is it all about?

It took me the writing of this entire book to discover that I think it is about love. That little word--eros, caritas, agape. That little spark, the trace in us of the Transcendent Other, who loves all creation, and who calls us to ever greater self-transcending love for and communion with all. Our reading, as it displays the whole world to us for our cherishing, may be a kind of -Contemplatio ad Amorem-, the concluding meditation in Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises, which calls us to find the love of God for us in all things, and all things in the God of love.”
