Learning to love others

Love does not come naturally. Although we are created for love, we live in a world where false love obscures the richness of the quality of love God intended for us.

Jesus modeled genuine love. We see it in the way he stoops to listen to the heart’s cry of a leper. We see it in the way he confronts cruelty. We see it in the way he forgives the Roman soldier who nails him to a cross.

The story of genuine love is told and retold throughout the biblical narrative. Exploring the stories of love in an attitude of prayer uncovers the secret of genuine love. Sharing life together helps us practice.
