St. Ignatius of Loyola

But the wind, if too strong, can blow out a flame - ergo we shouldn't speak of God's Love too much?

Well.. Smiley It depends on the wind.. and it depends on the flame..

A person needs time in silence to appreciate what is said too.

One Word.. and silence.


I am come to cast fire on the earth; and what will I, but that it be kindled?

Luke 12:49
