become what we love.

(taken from August 2011 issue, Liberty + Vine)

Prayer from St. Clare of Assisi

"We become what we love, and who we love shapes what we become. If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing. Imitation is not a liberal mimicking of Christ, rather it means becoming the image of the beloved, an image disclosed through transformation. This means we are to become vessels of God's compassionate love for others."

 - St. Clare of Assisi
