Love God, Love People

Jesus Christ has said, "Whoever does not want to spend life will lose it." But we are afraid to spend our life, to give it away without reserve. To spend life is to work for others, even without pay, to make a favor without expecting return. To spend life is to throw yourself ahead, even to fail, without false prudence. It is to burn your bridges for the sake of the neighbor. We are torches that have no meaning except burning out for others. - "Gastar la Vida" by Father Luis Espinal
