I believe that love is the strength of the world.
I believe that love is a gift.
I believe that love is joy.
I believe that love is everything.

I believe that the cross is love.
I believe that life is the cross and love.
I believe that Mary is the Mother of Love.
I believe that a smile draws its strength from love.
I believe that pain is the seal of love.

I believe that the apostolate take its measure from love.
I believe that love will have the last word
Because God is Love.
