QUOTE…

.

“‘God is love’,

that is, love poured forth unsparingly.

All is summed up in this supreme truth,

which explains and illuminates everything.

The story of Jesus must be seen in this light.

`(He) loved me, St. Paul writes.

Each of us can and must repeat it for himself

– ‘He loved me, and gave Himself for me’"

.

– Pope Paul VI.
