“Love is never something ready made, something merely 'given' to man and woman, it is always at the same time a 'task' which they are set.

― Bishop Robert Barron

“Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Lord, help me let go of control. Help me die. Help me trust.”
