- Saint Ignatius

About this Quote

This quote by Saint Ignatius speaks to the power of love in our lives. When we love someone, we are more likely to obey them. This is due to the fact that love produces a bond between 2 people that encourages mutual respect and understanding. When we enjoy someone, we wish to make them happy and make sure that their dreams are fulfilled. We are most likely to listen to their guidance and follow their instructions. Love also provides us the motivation to do what is right and to put the other person's needs prior to our own. Obeying someone we enjoy is not a difficult task since we are driven by our feelings of love and admiration. We are willing to go the extra mile to make certain that the person we enjoy enjoys and looked after. Love is an effective force that can make us do things we never ever believed we can.
