Quote of the Day (Fr. John C. Flynn, on Love and Suffering)

“Love includes suffering, but nonlove (not facing love's responsibility) also includes suffering. The choice you must make is which suffering to avoid: the suffering that love demands and that brings peace, or the suffering that comes from emptiness and feelings of nonfulfillment.” —Fr John C. Flynn , quoted in David Gonzalez, “Bronx Priest of the Streets Gets a Stretch of Pavement in His Name,” The New York Times, May 30, 2016
