Work Overview
Text from the English Standard Bible:
1 Corinthians 13 (partial)
Love is patient love is kind
Does not envy
Love does not boast
It is not arrogant
It is not rude
Faith, hope, and love abide
But the greatest of these is love
Love believes all things
Love hopes all things
Love endures all things
It is not resentful
Love never ends
John 10:14-15 (partial)
I am the good shepherd;
And I know my sheep
As the Father knows me
Even so I know the Father
And I lay down my life for the sheep
St Mary Eurphrasier Pelletier - Foundress of the Nuns of the Good Shepherd Order
(From the Good Shepherd website)
I have always loved, and I have loved with all the strength of my soul.
