| To love |
| |
|
Human logic, often seeks self-realization in power, dominion, in powerful means. The incarnation and the cross, remind us that full realization is found in conforming our human will to the Father, in the emptying of one’s selfishness; to be filled with love, God’s charity - and thus truly become able to love others.

| |
| To love |
| |
|
Love of God and love of neighbor are inseparable and are mutually related. Jesus did not invent one or the other but revealed that they are essentially a single commandment and did so not only through the Word, but especially with his testimony: the person of Jesus and his whole Mystery embody the unity of love of God and neighbor, like the two arms of the Cross, vertical and horizontal.

| To love |
| |
|
Anyone who wishes to give love must also receive love as a gift. Certainly, as the Lord tells us, one can become a source from which rivers of living water flow (cf. Jn 7:37-38). Yet to become such a source, one must constantly drink anew from the original source, which is Jesus Christ, from whose pierced heart flows the love of God (cf. Jn 19:34).

DEUS CARITAS EST
Encyclical Letter
|
| |

True love is expressed in acts that exclude no one, after the example of the Good Samaritan, who with openness of heart, helped a stranger in difficulty, whom he had met 'by chance' along the way.

| To love |
| |
|
Love is the only thing that can fill hearts and bring people together. God is love. When we forget God, we lose hope and become unable to love others. That is why it is so necessary to testify to God’s presence so that others can experience it. The salvation of humanity depends on this, as well as the salvation of each of us.
