“Love other things than Christ, and you will have anguishing concern for them, both for gaining them and for keeping and losing them.” - John Preston

“Earth’s entertainments are like those of Jael; her left hand brings me milk, her right, a nail.” - Thos. Fuller

“I have sometimes thought that true, selfless love with all the sacrifices it implies really exists, and it was when I saw you write it that I really believed in it".

This is a prayer that I could say, and that I have probably already said silently, to my guardian angel, to God and to all those who believe in true love.

Love which is ultimately a form of sacrifice, represented by Jesus on the cross in the Christian faith. He sacrifices his own life to save our souls.

I really think that love is a sacrifice, too, which is why I like to think that there is a large part of truth and love in the prayers that everyone addresses to each other, to God or to their lucky star, their guardian angel.
