Myra Villegas
The Holy Cross is a meaningful icon of loving. It means to die with attachments, wickedness, and desires. It means to have a new heart - a heart that loves no bounds - a heart that is redeemed.
Thomas Merton
The gift of love is the gift of the power and the capacity to love, and, therefore, to give love with full effect is also to receive. So, love can only be kept by being given away, and it can only be given perfectly when it is also received.
Myra Villegas
- Trust
I give myself to you because I trust you and this personal trust makes you answerable to me. If you deceive me, you likewise deceive yourself, for you have pretended to appear as something that you are not. You have contradicted yourself and your hypocrisy will strike back at you. For then you will lose my trust forever.
