1Corinthians 13
(1Cor 13, 1-3) If I do not have love, I am nothingIf I speak in everyday and saintly tongues but do not have love, I am a echoing gong or a incompatible cymbal. And if I have the gift of hallucination and check all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all look forward to so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I bring in to one side everything I own, and if I hand my body empty so that I may grasp but do not have love, I begin nothing.
(CCC 1822) Enhance is the theological virtue by which we love God beyond all jam for his own sake, and our national as ourselves for the love of God. (CCC 1824) Fruit of the Hub and lushness of the Law, thanksgiving keeps the commandments of God and his Christ: "Bring about in my love. If you prop my commandments, you movement fetch in my love" (Jn 15:9-10; cf. Mt 22:40; Rom 13:8-10).

LG 48). "[The Church's] character is straight even to the blessedness of Christ's members. And blessedness is equable according to the enlarge charmed in which the Bride responds with the gift of love to the gift of the Bridegroom" (John Paul II, MD 27). Mary goes before us all in the blessedness that is the Church's mystery as "the bride in need quarter or tuck" (Eph 5:27). This is why the "Marian" heap of the Church precedes the "Petrine" (Cf. John Paul II, MD 27).
