Fulton Sheen expresses this very well. Love he says is born in a garden, that is marriage love with Adam and Eve, but they sinned and turned from love. Love was then weakened, but Love Itself was crucified in a garden and poured out the Grace and Love from His Sacred Side, flowing from His Heart into ours, if we so choose. This restores and strengthens true Love.
Love is also like a garden because we must choose what flowers (Virtues) to grow and weed out the vices and sins. Our garden can be most beautiful and the radiance and perfume that would come from such a loving garden, would be worth more than anything one's heart could ever desire!
I have copied the first part of the three for you to watch. It is amazing! May we learn to Love with a true and pure Love, tending to it and growing it everyday! We must not wary or become negligent, love is more delicate than a red rose and many weeds try to climb up and choke it and if we are not at watch and praying, if we are not at work and praying, then our love can be lost and never grow. Seek everyday to further your love, water it, feed it, weed it, and always keep it directed to the Source which is God. Let us ask specifically the Holy Spirit, Who is Love to set our hearts of fire and burn them with that fire of Divine Love, so that we might with the beating Heart of the Son, Love the Father for all eternity!!! Amen, so I hope, so may it be!
