“Oh sovereign Lord of Heaven, what has brought Thee from celestial heights to the depths of earthly hearts?” His answer will be simply, “Love.”
And you must reply: “O eternal love, what is it you ask of me?” And he will answer again: “Nothing but love. I would have no other fire within thee but charity, the ardent flames of which will conquer the impure flames…and make thee pleasing in My sight…”—The Spiritual Combat, Dom Lorenzo Scupoli
