Wonder & Whimsy: love means responsibility

A weekly curation of quotations I come across in my reading life (or on random condiment jars) — from the inspirational to the miscellaneous. Perhaps one inspires you or catches your fancy too…

Understanding in God’s timing…

“Today we understanding the sacred word what we did not know yesterday; tomorrow we will understand what we do not know today. God has graciously disposed this so that every day we many be nourished.” – St. Gregory the Great

Love means responsibility…

“Love divorced from a feeling of responsibility for the person is a negation of itself, is always and necessarily egoism. The greater the feeling of responsibility for the person the more true love there is.” – St. John Paul II (Love & Responsibility)

Remembering eternity…

“It is the memory of time that makes us old; remembering eternity makes us young again.” – Stratford Caldecott (Beauty in the Word)
