Mary \u2014 John 12, Perfume of Passion

“We love the poor because we love Jesus. It's not the other way around. I think that's really important. We love the poor because we love Jesus. … And they really care about the poor. There's a danger there. Because you get burnt out. We don't love Jesus because we love the poor. We don't love Jesus because he loved the poor. We love Jesus because he loves us. He loves the whole world. … We love Jesus because he is the Son of God. He is God himself who became incarnate, entering into flesh. Did we actually recognize that he's in flesh forever? That's how much he loved you.”
