Jesus! I would so love Him! Love Him as never yet He has been loved

(Her sister Pauline.)

The science of love! Sweet is the echo of that word to the ear of my soul.I desire no other science. Having given all my substance for it, like the spouse in the Canticles, I think that I have given nothing.

Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing.
