Love
"Together with this unfathomable and free
gift [of God’s sacrificial love],… of which the Eucharist
is the indelible sign, there also springs up within us a lively
response of love. We not only know love; we ourselves begin to love.
We enter, so to speak, upon the path of love and along this path
make progress. Thanks to the Eucharist, the love that springs up
within us from the Eucharist develops in us, becomes deeper and
grows stronger."
Mystery
and Worship of the Eucharist, 6
"Only the one who is able to be demanding
with himself in the name of love can also demand love from others."
Letter
to Families, 14
