More From Pope John Paul II

The curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being beloved is intolerable to many. the beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. for the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved. the lover craves any possible relation with the beloved, even if this experience can cause him only pain.

When the rose is gone and the garden faded you will no longer hear the nightingale's song. the beloved is all; the lover just a veil. the beloved is living; the lover a dead thing. if love withholds its strengthening care, the lover is left like a bird without care, the lover is left like a bird without wings. how will i be awake and aware if the light of the beloved is absent? love wills that this word be brought forth.

The lover's pleasure is in the pleasure of the beloved. the lover is satisfied when the beloved is fed. the lover is vain when the beloved is adorned.

There are three kinds of love; unselfish, mutual, and selfish. the unselfish love is of the highest kind; the lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. in mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved; but has an eye towards his own happiness also. it is middling. the selfish love is the lowest. it only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.

Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.

A lover in life will be a lover in death, a lover in the tomb, a lover in paradise, a lover on the day of resurrection.
