A House Mantra

My wife was sent the following quote, which she included in our Parish newsletter. She also suggests we adopt it as a sort of houe mantra in the Ferrenberg residence. I agree.

Patience, forgiveness and joy are the three greatest characteristics of
divine love. They are characteristics of all real love - if there is such a
thing as real love outside divine love. Without these three
characteristics, love is not love. If you give the name 'love' to anything
else, it is as though you were giving the name 'sheep' to a goat or a pig.
--St. Nikolai Velimirovich
