Love. It is not a simple concept, and it is not easy to do.

But the saints are experts on how to love because they follow the leader on true love - Jesus. Since love is everyone's vocation in life, I thought I would include some famous quotes about love from saints like St. John Paul II, St. Therese of Lisieux, Mother Theresa and more. Check em out!

"The greater the feeling of responsibility for the person, the more true love there is."
- St. John Paul II

"Open your minds and hearts to the beauty of all that God has made and to His special, personal love for each one of you."
-St. John Paul II

"People are made for happiness. Rightly, then, you thirst for happiness. Christ has the answer to this desire of yours. But he asks you to trust him."
- St. John Paul II

"True love begins when nothing is looked for in return."
- St. Therese of Lisieux

"Each of us is a result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary."
- Pope Benedict XVI

"As you seek a virtuous spouse, it is fitting that you should be the same."
- St Bernardino

"Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love."
- St. Therese of Lisieux

"No one listens, they tell me, so I listen... I tell them what they have just told me. I sit in silence listening to them... 'Julian, you are wise,' they say. 'You have been gifted with understanding.' All I did was listen."
- St. Julian of Norwich

"Love, to be real, must empty us of self."
- St. Mother Theresa

"Continue to be patient; it will all be for your good."
- St. Padre Pio

Love is not too lofty for us to do. It is something we don't need any money, wisdom, or prerequisites to do. Even if we have failed miserably in the past to put another's needs before ours, God's grace can help us forgive ourselves and make better decisions in the future!

We can do it!
