Religious life, like married life, begins again every day. Religious life, like married life, is the life of love. And love never stops still. The expression of any kind of life which is founded on love in inevitably that of sacrifice. Love of God, love of a person, love of an ideal: each involves immolation. The terms of love are unconditional surrender - constantly repeated.
- Dom Hubert van Zeller, OSB, The Yoke of Divine Love
