Summary

Divine love: the most natural, and the least natural, thing in the universe.

We have arrived at last at the virtue that suffuses all others and defines their objective. It's been quite the journey.

Faith, hope, and love.

These things remain, but the greatest is love.

1:07.2

And we made it.

1:26.1

and things changed in my life, you know.

1:28.1

The very first time somebody ever said that, like way back
