Overheard outside a concert hall:
“What a singer! His voice filled the hall.”
“Yes, several of us had to leave the hall to make room for it!”
Overheard in a spiritual counselling session:
“How can I love God as the Scriptures tell us to? How can I give Him my whole heart?”
“You must first empty your heart of all created things.”
Misleading! Don’t be afraid to fill your heart with the people and things you love, for the love of God won’t occupy space in your heart any more than a singer’s voice occupies space in a hall.
Love is not like a loaf of bread. If I give a chunk of the loaf to you I have less to offer to others.
Love is like eucharistic bread: I receive the whole Christ—and so do you; and the next person; and the next.
You can love your mother with your whole heart; and your spouse; and every one of your children.
And the wonder is that each stands to gain because love improves in quality each time the heart is given to another person. If a friend loves you alone and no one else, you would be wise to urge him to give his heart to others for, unless he does this, it is a feeble (and hungry!) heart he offers you.
