Act of Love

Pink and white flowers grow across a mossy stone garden wall.
Love reaches beyond itself.

O my God, I love you above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because you are all good and worthy of all my love.

I love my neighbor as myself for the love of you. I forgive all who have injured me and I ask pardon of all whom I have injured.
