Love, we know from the teaching of Father John, is the fruit of meditation. If we want to discern our progress, our growth in meditation, we are able to see it in our developing capacity to give and receive love, and to be able to see with our own eyes that love is the central reality of our lives. There is no greater gift, no greater power; and it is the source of all meaning in our life.
(Aspects of Love 1 by Laurence Freeman OSB )
