"...love is ignited within us, love is renewed within us. Therefore, these are not
hours spent in idleness, when we isolate ourselves from our work, but these are moments,
hours, when we undertake something that constitutes the deepest meaning of all of our work.
For no matter how numerous our activities, our ministries, however numerous our concerns, our
exertions —if there is no love, everything becomes meaningless.
When we devote our time to ponder the mystery of love, to allow it to radiate in our
hearts, we are preparing ourselves in the best possible way for any kind of service,
for any activity, for any charitable work."
-Pope John Paul II
