Love. You can still say something sensible slow fighter about love? You can tell it, describe it, y


Sister Nazarene, now bent with age, the curve in his chair, rested his eyes for the first time on one of the young and with the breath of soft but clear voice replied: "First of all let me say that it is one of the best questions I've never heard, as the heart of God ... you know maybe my whole monastic life was a continual prayer and reflection and to live on this question and now that I'm older I can not say I have found the answer. I try to tell you the things that I understand, the suggestions that I carry inside, but the most important thing is that you yourself live to know the heart of God My God, it seems to me almost a speech that might remind some parts of "Siddhartha" Hermann Hesse, but we all loved that book in some way, why hide it ... "
The young girl thought sympathetically slow fighter the previous slow fighter summer, when, during one of his odd jobs and temporary workers, the waitress at a mountain lodge, a climber had left some of his luggage at the shelter to make the high street that passed through those mountains, including several books, including Hesse's Siddhartha, which she devoured the two nights of his absence.
"Think of all the love, think only of love, not something else, all the love that you have received and you've seen given and received by others. Think of the ability to love, even if minimal and often ambiguous or possessive that each person has within it, think of all the love in the world, all the love of the story, just think of that, and still the heart of God is much beyond that, because it is a love that is beyond history as we imagine it, beyond this world, beyond the universe. The heart of God is all love forever, love is everything imaginable and beyond, is pure and simple love, a love that we humans have the privilege to know, if we decide to live it, to give it and receive it, even if partially and often confused in pain, suffering, limitation of our hearts, our psyche, our characters, the various vicissitudes of life as mysterious and ambiguous.
Love. You can still say something sensible slow fighter about love? You can tell it, describe it, you believe it? The philosopher Roberto Mancini, in his splendid keynote last Biblical slow fighter Festival (which I suggest you listen here: Mancini_festival biblical 2013) recognizes a cultural trivialization with respect to the word love, as to the words faith and freedom.
To respond to this trivialization, to recognize the love that surrounds us, the one near and tangible people who love us and we love, to the powerful and immense humanity that makes this ramshackle not to self-destruct slow fighter but instead slow fighter continues to progress in beauty and wisdom, I take some sections of a book by a lay theologian, which should be read in its entirety, but parts of which seem appropriate to start over in some way to talk about love, to talk about the heart of God
But not before clear up the title of this letter. I understand that the lovers are the tears of the first and most sensible words of love, these are the feelings to intrude, to dissolve misunderstandings, clarify most of the speakable.
Loving God certainly does not mean 'positive feelings towards him' in the sense that it could be said in reference to any human being. Our love of God can never be the direct object, slow fighter even the supreme and final. Rather, it is what makes us live love, through His Spirit; and is also the direction, the meaning, slow fighter the complete fulfillment of all true love.
To love God means to plunge deeper and deeper into the awareness of being loved by God and called: open to this love to the point that it can radiate and extend in human history.
God loves us first, and in the Scriptures His love is manifested above all in the fact that the man called to live in communion with him, that the Alliance. The human being experiences slow fighter in fidelity communion with God and in communion with the ineffable joy of knowing that God loved and beloved by him. [...]
In past centuries, theologians have often played on the nature, purpose, and dynamics of love, distinguishing between at least a benevolentiae amor (love that should be 'pure', namely forgetful of self) and a love of concupiscence slow fighter (need love). Nowadays, however, this division begins to look a little sense theologically and psychologically; especially not real. This is also a sign of the times, and it looks very positive. From the first half of the twentieth century reflection of the Lutheran theologian Anders Nygren has made familiar to the theological reflection the two main forms of love, that Eros is agápēappunto. Mentreérōs is love axes
