Love = Self sacrifice We could add other simple definitions to the list as we find them. The saints say it so well.

St. Therese of Lisieux tell me about it! sometimes I think I need to sacrifice myself for me.. and my sanity! But, I know what she means..... all in balance.

St. Therese of Lisieux tell me about it! sometimes I think I need to sacrifice myself for me.. and my sanity! But, I know what she means..... all in balance. Yes, balance. And I also think that everyone receives when there is sacrifice of yourself. That sacrifice doesn't need to be one that degrades the person. That is not true sacrifice, I think. I believe what she is talking about is reaching out to another rather than shutting them out. Whether that means refusing to enable someone in their addiction any more or controlling yourself when your children act up.

He needs it for souls and for our soul. . . Alas, it does pain Him to give us sorrows to drink, but He knows this is the only means of preparing us to know Him as He knows Himself and to become God's ourselves.'
