Love, Suffering, and Joy

"Love is the source of all the joy in life and all the suffering in life. No love means no suffering and no joy. The suffering that comes from love is the price we pay for the gift of loving." Today I heard this song as well as this quote. It reminded me that as Catholics and simply as human beings- we are called to love. It is the reason we have joy, and the reason we have pain. We can't have one without the other. But it's so much better to love- even when it hurts- because that's when we're doing what we were made to do. That's when we are who were meant to be.
