Little Sister Magdeleine When we love, we want to be like the one we love, we want to suffer with the one we love, and we have no greater joy than to help him carry his cross.

This Lent, do you not want to try to love a little bit like that, even if your heart is not sensibly moved? The love of Christ is a love of the will… Feelings add nothing to its intensity and to its depth.
Little Sister Magdeleine (1898–1989)
