“True love is love that causes us pain, that hurts, and yet brings us joy. That is why we must pray to God and ask Him to give us the courage to love.”
— Mother Teresa

Simplified Meaning:
Loving someone deeply can sometimes cause us sadness or hurt, such as when we worry about them, argue, or see them go through tough times. Even with these painful moments, the joy and happiness we get from this love are worth it. Just like when parents worry about their children but still find joy in their growth and achievements, love involves both pain and happiness. Because it can be challenging to deal with these mixed emotions, we need inner strength and bravery. Asking for courage, whether through prayer or reflection, helps us stay strong and continue loving others even when it's hard. This way, we embrace the full experience of true love, with all its ups and downs.
