Dwell Often On The Passion

LOVE moves and governs all things. Tell me what you love and I shall tell you what you are. If your love is for the world, you are its slave. If your love is for Jesus Christ, you are free; you are becoming conformed to His image; your conversation, that is your life and conduct even here below, are continually in heaven.

Jesus Christ is alone worthy of your whole heart. But you cannot love Him if you do not know Him. It is not enough to know that “God so loved the world as to give His only-begotten Son”, that “He emptied Himself out”, and that “He laid down His life for His flock”. We must know the details of His sufferings, if we would know the excess of His love.
