The Love of God
"If St. Francis heard people use lightly the words 'love of God,' he didn't like it and would often rebuke them for it. He would say, 'The love of God is so exalted that it should be mentioned rarely, in extreme need, and then with great reverence.'" --Writings of Leo, Rufino, and Angelo, 116
To use words that take God's character lightly is the same as profaning His name which cannot be separated from Who He is--the great I AM.
