Actually, all gifts have been given. . .

Actually, all gifts have been given for reasons of temporal use and need and they will surely pass away at the end of the present dispensation. Love, however, will never be cut off. It works in us and for us, and not simply in this life. For when the burden of physical need has been laid aside in the time to come it will endure, more effectively, more excellently, forever unfailing, clinging to God with more fire and zeal through all the length of incorruption.”

— John Cassian

 

Since love grows within. . .

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.

 

— St. Augustine of Hippo
