Learning to Love

“My dear son, people aren't bad. What happens is that they do not know how to love. How, then, can we teach them to love? Only by loving. That is why the Lord gives us a family when we come into the world. A loving family and engenders loving persons. I am sure you know this very well. When I came to pray at Czestochowa, it struck me very much that she, Our Lady, desires more than anything else to be our mother. My dear, I think we must follow her example and love everyone with a mother's love. If we did, then slowly, slowly, we would gain the whole world.”


POPE JOHN XXIII speaking to CARDINAL WYSZYNSKI
