The Love Of God Is Not Taught. No One Has Taught Us To Enjoy The Light Or To Be Attached To Life More Than Anything Else. And No One Has Taught Us To Love The Two People Who Brought Us Into The World And Educated Us. Which Is All The More Reason To Believe That We Did Not Learn To Love God As A Result Of Outside Instruction. In The Very Nature Of Every Human Being Has Been Sown The Seed Of The Ability To Love.

The Sun Penetrates Crystal And Makes It More Dazzling. In The Same Way, The Sanctifying Spirit Indwells In Souls And Makes Them More Radiant. They Become Like So Many Powerhouses Beaming Grace And Love Around Them.
