“The gospel definition of love goes something like this: a self-sacrificing, willed concern for and giving to another, even if attraction and feeling are diminished or absent, and even if little or nothing is received in return – and all with divine motivation” (Dubay, Deep Conversion, Deep Prayer, p. 71)

“Heroic love for God and neighbor is, of course, closely allied to profound intimacy with the indwelling Trinity” (Dubay, Deep Conversion, Deep Prayer, p. 73)

“The ars celebrandi cannot be reduced to only a rubrical mechanism, much less should it be thought of as imaginative – sometimes wild – creativity without rules” (Francis, Desiderio desideravi, 48)
