The Weekly Reflection
July 26, 2010
Love is, in fact, an intensification of life, a completeness, a fullness, a wholeness of life. ...We will never be fully real until we let ourselves fall in love - either with another human person or with God. And this must not be confined only to sexual fulfillment: it embraces everything in the human person --- the capacity for self-giving, for sharing, for creativity, for mutual care, for spiritual concern.
Thomas Merton. Love and Living. (New York: Harcourt, 1965). p. 27
Thought for the Day
...love is not just something that happens to you: it is a certain special way of being alive.
Love and Living: p. 27
