Divine love makes its abode in the most high and sublime region of the
soul, where it offers sacrifice and holocausts to the divinity as Abraham did,
and as our Saviour sacrificed himself upon the top of Calvary, to the end that
from so exalted a place it may be heard and obeyed by its people, that is, by
all the faculties and affections of the soul. These he governs with an
incomparable sweetness, for love has no convicts or slaves, but brings all
things under its obedience with a force so delightful, that as nothing is so
strong as love nothing also is so sweet as its strength.
St. Francis de Sales
