By loving your neighbour, by having care for your neighbour, you are travelling on a journey. Where are you journeying, except to the Lord God, whom we must love with all our heart and all our soul and all our mind? We have not yet reached the Lord, but our neighbour is with us already. So support your neighbour, who is travelling with you, so that you may reach him with whom you long to dwell.Emphasis mine.
"There are few people who realize what God would make of them if they abandoned themselves into his hands, and let themselves be formed by his grace.” --- St. Ignatius Loyola
"God does not call us to do great things, but to do small things with great love". --- Mother Teresa
"The reason God put us on earth is that we might learn to love." --- George MacDonald
