Fire of Love Quotes

“I already understood the beautiful and deeply theological significance of Jesus calling His mother “woman.” But what about the “to Me and to thee”? This was something new. Most modern translations have eliminated the “and to thee” part of the original text and I wondered what it meant. It turned out, after consulting a priest, that Our Lord was not rebuking His mother as so many people think, but instead was asking her if she was prepared to accept all that would occur if He should perform this first public miracle. He asked her, in essence, for her second fiat, to allow Him to take His first step towards Calvary. And without hesitating to take her own heart into account, Our Blessed Mother turns to the servants and tells them to do as Our Lord commands. Mother and Son, bound together, each carrying a cross designed for them, and each accepting fully God’s will and the suffering that comes with it.”

“If we lost our home and lived in a cardboard box, it was my duty to make sure they were as comfortable and well cared for as possible. I was no longer afraid. I simply strove to be the love my family needed. Be the love they will remember and draw from when times were hard and I was no longer around. Be the love Christ showed to us all as He gave His last drop of blood.”
