True
Love in Jesus Christ..
The many odes written about true
love... Clergy, ulama and other guru try
to define it... Yet, only those consumed by it truly understand what it is all
about...!
Dante wrote in The Divine Comedy: ‘The day that man allows true love to appear,
those things which are made will fall
into confusion and will overturn everything we believe to be right and true.’
Paolo Coelho wrote in The Zahir: ‘Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it
destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to
understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.’
‘This force is on earth to make us happy,
to bring us closer to God and to our neighbour, and yet, given the way that we
love now, we enjoy one hour of anxiety for every minute of peace.’
We profess that God is LOVE! And that LOVE
is the one revealed by Jeus Christ – the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes
and lying in a manger; and and the man hanging on the Cross at Calvary!
A Blessed Christmas!
