I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

The statement frames love as a discipline that can transfigure suffering. “Love until it hurts” suggests giving beyond comfort—time, attention, forgiveness, or material help—until self-protection and ego are stripped away. The paradox is that at the point where love is total, pain no longer functions as a deterrent or as self-centered injury; it is absorbed into a larger commitment, leaving “only more love” as the governing reality. In Mother Teresa’s spiritual idiom, this echoes the idea that sacrificial love participates in Christ’s own suffering and becomes a source of joy and freedom rather than mere loss.
