Love unifies,
it brings us together and makes us one.
Love calls us individually to relationship,
yet its very nature has no boundaries;
its desire is to be shared with others.
Love builds bridges,
bring what was once divided together.
Love flows from the heart...
this same love flows from each of us because God's Spirit of abundant love flows through our hearts. ~Henri Nouwen
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22: 36-39
I once spoke with a woman who had not talked to her sister in over fifteen years. When I asked her what had happened to divide them, she said she really couldn't remember exactly, but words had been shared that caused hurt and the situation was never remedied.
I am sure you can think of a similar situation in your life. Would you like to change it, or at least, would you like to try?

Thank you Colleen!
A wonderful reflection on love! Thanks, DG!
Thank you Mary!
Love is like "Play it Forward". You give it out and the person you give it to gives it out to someone else. That is how Our Lord wants it spread, from one heart to another until it is covering the earth. Then there will be true peace
Wonderful post. !
Thank you Nancy!
You make some very meaningful points. I thank you for this thought-provoking post.
Once broken, love can sometimes be very difficult to fix together again.
God bless.
