A quote from Pope Francis:
"The Lord has given this love to us, so that we can love each other as He has loved us. In this regard, it is as if the great poet of this land, Shota Rustaveli, is speaking to us with some of his renowned words: 'Have you read how the Apostles write about love, how they speak, how they praise it? Know this love, and turn your mind to these words: love raises us up.' Truly, the love of the Lord raises us up, because it enables us to rise above the misunderstandings of the past, above the calculations of the present and fears for the future."
— Audience with Orthodox Patriarchate of Georgia, Caucasus, Georgia, Sept. 30, 2016
