To love anyone really, truly, means that you are putting yourself in his place—loving him as yourself—that you desire for him the best, and give up yourself, and your own pleasure to secure it for him.
This is true love, and wherever you find it, you find a spark of God.
That is why mothers are so much nearer to God than anyone else.
They love more—that is, they are more like God—
It is they who keep the earth from becoming a vast hell.
