“ACTS OF LOVE
Love is not a word
Or a thought.
It is the name for
An action
That breathes from its light.
What do you
DO
In Love's name?
And is it only done
Outside
In the light?
Or with an inner
Flame
Illuminating
Love's
TRUE
Name?
I want to know.
Are your actions
Done by remote
Or with
SOUL?
And when you say
You love someone,
Does a light go off
Inside at all?
What have
YOU
Done
In the
Name of
LOVE?
Because,
Really,
I want to know.”

“Protestants believe that the sacraments are like ladders that God gave to us by which we can climb up to Him. Catholics believe that they are like ladders that God gave to Himself by which He climbs down to us.”

“Sacraments are like hoses. They are the channels of the living water of God's grace. Our faith is like opening the faucet. We can open it a lot, a little, or not at all.”

“When you graduate from "Being In Love" to "Loving Someone" you understand - Love is not about owning, Love is about wanting the best for them, It's about seeing or Helping them achieve great heights, with or without you. Love is not what you say, it's what you do.”

“DON'T SAY, DO
Do not say things
You think I want to hear.
Instead,
Say what you sincerely mean,
And really intend to do.
Do not think you are helping me
By occasionally
Being here or there,
If you really have no intention
Of holding my hand
All the way through.
Do not say you care for me,
If you do not care
Whenever I'm clearly
Down and blue.
And do not want what's best
For you,
If you do not wish the best
For me too.
Do not calculate gifts or deeds
Or your giving will never feel
Genuinely true.
Just say what you mean
And mean what you say,
And let's lay these down –
As our love's
Golden rules.”
