Notre-Dame de Paris (Charles Desvergues)
“Si je n’y suis [en la grâce de Dieu], Dieu m’y mette; et, si j’y suis, Dieu m’y tienne! Je serais le plus dolente de monde si je savais ne pas être en la grâce de Dieu”
— Jeanne d’Arc

Love can hurt us deeply. We need to take great care. The blade of nothingness cuts deeply. Others want to love, to give themselves, but they have no energy. They carry around in the hearts the corpses of past relationships and are addicted to hurt as confirmation of identity.
John O’Donohue (1956–2008)
Irish poet, author, and Catholic scholar
