"...the first and fundamental point she made was, that one hwo comes to the service of God, if he be truly intent on entering into union with God, must strip his heart of all sense-love -- not merely love of any other person, but of any created thing whatever. He must strive towards God his Creator with his whole mind and his whole heart. For the heart, she always said, cannot be given over wholly to God, unless it first be set free from every other love."
~ St. Raymond of Capua in his life of St. Catherine of Siena
