Daily Thoughts from Phillips BrooksWhy is Love greater than faith? Because the end is greater than the means. And why is it
greater than charity? Because the whole is greater than the part. Love is greater than faith, because the end is greater than the means. What is the use of having faith? It is to connect the soul with God. And what is the object of connecting man with God? That he may become like God. But God is Love. Hence Faith, the means, is in order to Love, the end.
