Love alone...

"It is by love alone that we turn to God, are transformed into His likeness, and are united with Him,

so that we become one spirit with Him,

and receive by and from Him all our happiness, here in grace, hereafter in glory.

Love can find no rest till she rests in the full and perfect possession of the Beloved."
