"True love means going out of oneself, giving oneself. Love brings joy,
but a joy whose roots are in the shape of a cross. As long as we are on
earth and have not yet arrived at the fullness of the future life, we
can never have true love without sacrifice and pain. This pain becomes
sweet and lovable; it is the source of interior joy. But it is an
authentic pain, for it involves overcoming one's own selfishness and
taking Love as the rule of each and every thing we do. (Christ is
passing by, 43)"
~Opus Dei, Oct. 31 Message of the Day
