'Listen to the words of those who have been granted
perfect love: "What can separate us from the love of Christ? Can
affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
peril, or the sword? 'As it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death
all the day long; we are regarded as sheep for slaughtering' (Ps.
44:22). But in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him
that loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor
angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things
to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, can
separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom.
8:35-39). Those who speak and act thus with regard to divine love are
all saints.'
