Love is ground of Beauty

 "Love ... lays the ground of beauty.

There is nothing more beautiful than love, and 

everything beautiful is already love in a form hidden or revealed."

~Brother Paul Quenon

Love is the Lesson

 

"Love is the lesson, and God’s love is so great that God will finally teach it to all of us."

    Richard Rohr says this on a devotion.  Ponder how "Love is the Lesson" and how God is teaching it.  

    How is He teaching you?  Where are you failing to learn the lesson, t

     hat LOVE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL.

How embracing is your love?

 

Love [people] even in [their] sin, for that is the semblance of Divine Love and is the highest love on earth. Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you have perceived it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

 

—Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
