![“Love is faith's flower, hope is its stem. Grace comes into us by faith, like water through the roots of a tree. It rises in us by hope, like sap rising through the trunk of a tree. And it matures in us by [love] as fruit matures on a tree's branches, fruit for the neighbor's eating.” quote by Peter Kreeft](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/97e/peter-kreeft-820_branches_love-is-faith-s-flower-hope-is-its-stem_1546325.jpg)
