From the novel, Callista- A Tale of the Third Century
by Venerable John Henry Newman, C.O.

" 'There is but one Lover of souls,' cried Cæcilius, 'and He loves each one of us, as though there were no one else to love. He died for each one of us, as if there were no one else to die for. He died on the shameful cross. Amor meus crucifixus est . The love which He inspires lasts, for it is the love of the Unchangeable. It satisfies, for He is inexhaustible. The nearer we draw to Him, the more triumphantly does He enter into us; the longer He dwells in us, the more intimately have we possession of Him. It is an espousal for eternity. This is why it is so easy for us to die for our faith, at which the world marvels.' "
