[There is only] one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

—Ephesians 4:4–6 (NAB)

“It may seem that to have too much love for each other cannot be wrong, but I do not think anyone who had not witnessed it would believe how much evil and how many imperfections can result from this. The consciences of those who aim at pleasing God in provisional ways seldom observe the devil’s snares. They think they are acting virtuously…. For example, a nun desires to have something to give to her friend or tries to make time for talking to her. Often her object is to tell her how fond she is of her, and other irrelevant things, rather than how much she loves God. But these intimate friendships rarely focus on the love of God…. In our community, we must all be friends with each other, love each other, be fond of each other, and help each other.” —St. Teresa of Avila

Thank You for those who love me. But I know that You are my first and truest love.
