At a singles retreat I attended this past weekend, the priest who was the spiritual director of the retreat gave us this memorable quote in one of his talks. (I hope I got it right.)

Love is whisper, Lust is a roar,
Love is given, Lust wants more,
Love is offered, Lust just takes,
Love mends the hearts that Lust breaks
 
Those are great!

I’ve also heard…

Love is self-LESS
Lust is self-ISH

Love can’t wait to give, Lust can’t wait to get.

I remembered wrong here is a corrected version:

Love is whisper, Lust is a roar,
Love is content, Lust wants more,
Love is offered, Lust just takes,
Love mends the hearts that Lust breaks
 
I love that, rpp, thanks for sharing. I am so happy for you that the retreat was enlightening and fun…and that your newfound relationship seems to be blossoming nicely! :bounce:
 
One of the most popular things I’ve ever posted on my site is a reflection on the Raymond Carver short story, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Ray Carver’s classic is on an Esquire list of 75 books that every man should read (and certainly every woman). It is a story that while thoroughly secular it is profoundly Christian and gets to where it gets with no “preaching.”

Liked the quote. Also enjoyed this from another forum (a how-to evangelize piece)
