LOVE WOUNDS, my precious friend, it truly does.
I believe this is the mark of true love. Love wounds you because you allow yourself to become vulnerable to it and you allow yourself to become vulnerable because it is the only way to embrace it.
For it is how you fulfill each others longing for Love Itself - by a cycle of woundings and healings, a series of comings and goings that bless and purify the spirit of your union which in equal turns maturate and fulfill both the desire for as well as the promise of the sacramental grace of your wedlock vows.
True love is good, it is good because it is true. Love is true because it is real and it is real because God is real. For God is love. Therefore, in your love for one another, stand your ground against all falsities and evil things. And when the trials of this world become wearisome to the union of your souls be brave enough to believe in the truth of the Love Itself between you. To be able to rest in the sufficiency of the Love that dwells in your hearts; the Love that joins your spirit together into one truth. And the truth that allows you to participate in the mystery of Love itself in the mystery of the Holy Trinity.
Precious friend, love is eternal. Faith will end. Hope will end. But love will not. If we learn to trust in Love Itself apart from the trust that we give to each other then let us not be anxious for Love. For when human love is not enough and we are able to make a choice to abide in Love for the sake of Love Itself - Love Itself being all the goodness, grace, beauty, light and truth that Love brings into our otherwise dark and meaningless existence - then I promise you, my precious friend, we shall outlast the evil of our present times. For all evil and untrue things shall pass away into the nothingness but Love shall always see us through. And where all the best of human intentions may fail, Love will never fail.
Happy Hearts Day to all: Honor, Praise and Adoration to God in Jesus Christ, our All.
Peace and Godspeed,
