How should our love be
so that it is in accordance with what Jesus demands from us?
We know a love that has
death as a measure: to be willing to die for the other, for each neighbour.
A heroic love then:
nothing less.
This is love: "...
as I have loved you."
It is in this kind of
love, conceived and lived in this way,
that we find a way to
sanctify us in life.
It sounds dramatic and
often we are not asked to give our lives every time, but it is the measure of
loving my neighbour! Why? Because in every neighbour I can see Jesus, because every
person that passes me by in the present moment is a gift for me, an expression
of God’s love for me! If I want to love my neighbour the way God loves me, I
have to be willing to give my life as he gave his life on the cross!
