“Love ought to manifest itself in deeds
rather than in words.... love consists in a mutual sharing of goods, for example,
the lover gives and shares with the beloved
what he possesses, or something of that which
he has or is able to give; and vice versa,
the beloved shares with the lover. Hence,
if one has knowledge, he shares it with the one
who does not possess it; and so also if one
has honors, or riches. Thus, one always gives
to the other.”

- St. Ignatius of Loyola
founder of the Jesuit order
