Do not think that love, in order to be
genuine, has to be extraordinary.
What we need is to love without
getting tired.

Genuine Love =
Extraordinary Love?

Love each other as God loves each one
of you, with an intenseand particular
love. Be kind to each other. It is better to
commit faults with gentleness than to
work miracles with unkindness.

My life is miserable ...
Nobody loves me, not even my parents ...
I hate him, he always gives me troubles ...
I don't know how to love if I don't feel that I
love that person ...

In order for us to be able to love, we
need to have faith, because:
faith is love in action;and
love in action is service.

So .... How Can I Love?

Where God is, there is love; and where
there is love, there always is an
openness to serve.
We have a great deal ofworth in the
eyes of God.

We too often focus only on the negative
aspect of life - on what is bad.
If we were more willing to see the goodand
the beautiful things that surround us, we
would be able to transformour families.
Peace and war starts within one's own home.
If we really want peace for the world, let usstart by loving one another within our
families.
(NGL, 26)
GOD IS LOVE

We must knowthat we have been created
for greater things, not just to be a
number in the world, not just to go for
diplomas and degrees, this work and that
work. We have been created in order to
love and to be loved.

But Who Am I to Change the World?

Always be faithful in little things, for in them
our strengthlies. To God nothing is little.
We must deliberately renounceall desiresto
see the fruit of our labor, doingall we can as
best we can, leaving the rest in the hands ofGod.
What matters is the gift of yourself, thedegree of love that you put into each one ofyour actions.
