Love

“Love is of God.”
— John 4:7

“Love does not grow weary of serving, though service may be often in trial … indeed, save with rare encouragement, always in the general run of it, is. "Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake."”

“How few so present their charity to God, and bring God into their charity, exercising it for and towards Him, though in behalf of man, so that they persevere nothing the less in its exercise, though the more they love the less they be loved! it is for God's sake.”
