We have today a crisis of words.
Words are of paramount importance, for they convey concepts.
Today it has become necessary to continually clarify this word and the reality which gives rise to it and supports it. We shall speak of the highest signification of the term, the Christian one. In order to understand love, a function of the intellect, and then to exercise it, a function of the will, we must look at this God who is love itself. We look at Jesus Christ to see the God who is love, and the way we as human persons are to exercise this love, for Jesus is true God and true man. Our Lord tells us clearly that He has loved us as the Father loves him, and He desires us to live on in his love.
