2 Types,2| one's juniors, honesty, love of Fatherland, a reverence
3 Types,2| possible to find an outlet for love, sacrifice and heroic deeds
4 Types,2| simply replaced Christian love with an egotistical love
5 Types,2| love with an egotistical love for the things of this world.
6 Types,3| replace spirit with form, love with ritual. In this temptation
7 Types,3| but to forfeit spirit and love. It is very likely that
8 Types,3| not achieve is, of course, love. One can "speak with the
9 Types,3| of angels, and have not love" (1 Cor. 13:1). To be sure,
10 Types,3| 1). To be sure, acts of love and benevolence enter into
11 Types,3| a spontaneous feeling of love toward them.~At the present
12 Types,3| rarefied air of sacrificial love is beyond its strength.
13 Types,3| commandments concerning love for God and love for other
14 Types,3| concerning love for God and love for other people. Does it
15 Types,3| expressed in it its own kind of love for God, it is difficult
16 Types,3| way it expresses itself in love for people.~Christ, who
17 Types,3| whole world, the lack of love? Is this what most alarms
18 Types,3| difficult to speak about love against this background,
19 Types,3| against this background, since love somehow falls outside both
20 Types,3| precisely in the name of love. But where they do not violate
21 Types,3| in the name" nor is there love. Strict ritualism reveals
22 Types,3| when it replaces Christ's love with the preservation of
23 Types,4| would be difficult to find love within the aesthetic type
24 Types,4| incapable of sacrificial love -- for all these reasons
25 Types,4| there for ages.~The eyes of love will perhaps be able to
26 Types,4| admiration and delight. Love is a very dangerous thing.
27 Types,4| spread abroad the Lord's love. One thing only is required
28 Types,4| fact that without acts of love, without a life of open
29 Types,4| not only beauty but also love, and answers to all his
30 Types,4| whole extent of Christ's love in every experience of its
31 Types,5| perform acts of Christian love. But that love is itself
32 Types,5| Christian love. But that love is itself a special form
33 Types,5| called and commanded to love -- and we must love.~That
34 Types,5| commanded to love -- and we must love.~That love should be used
35 Types,5| and we must love.~That love should be used as a standard
36 Types,5| all things. But while I love I must remember at all times
37 Types,5| saved: to the extent that love assists me in my salvation,
38 Types,5| me of my spiritual world. Love is the same kind of devout
39 Types,5| Christ's teaching about love. He is merciful, he visits
40 Types,5| he even offers people his love. And only if you pay close
41 Types,5| self-renouncing and sacrificial love, laying down his life for
42 Types,5| that, as the Apostle said, love is the greatest thing of
43 Types,5| other virtues there must be love. And he will train himself
44 Types,5| he will force himself to love -- so long as it does not
45 Types,5| becomes not the object of love, but a means for the benefitting
46 Types,5| impenetrable wall of absent love? No matter what their particular
47 Types,5| grasping, greedy and miserly love of one's own property, be
48 Types,5| more difficult it is to love its image, distorted by
49 Types,5| greater is the rejection of love. The more difficult the
50 Types,5| there who wants to give his love to the world, it will not
51 Types,5| denunciation, of summons, and of love.~Today, in a time of plague,
52 Types,5| into one's heart and to love, since it provokes perplexity
53 Types,6| us two commandments: to love God and to love our fellow
54 Types,6| commandments: to love God and to love our fellow man. Everything
55 Types,6| revelation of the mystery of love of God and love of man.
56 Types,6| mystery of love of God and love of man. These are, in sum,
57 Types,6| they are linked together. Love for man alone leads us into
58 Types,6| individual human being and love toward him in the name of
59 Types,6| the name of all mankind. Love for God without love for
60 Types,6| mankind. Love for God without love for man, however, is condemned: "
61 Types,6| You hypocrite, how can you love God whom you have not seen,
62 Types,6| In fact, if you take away love for man then you destroy
63 Types,6| other hand, one cannot truly love man without loving God.
64 Types,6| matter of fact, what can we love in man if we do not discern
65 Types,6| that image, on what is such love based? It becomes some kind
66 Types,6| facet of my own self. I love that in the other which
67 Types,6| selfless but non-religious love toward man, then it will
68 Types,7| Two types of love~In this world there are
69 Types,7| world there are two kinds of love: one that takes and one
70 Types,7| is common to all types of love -- not only love for man.
71 Types,7| types of love -- not only love for man. One can love a
72 Types,7| only love for man. One can love a friend, one's family,
73 Types,7| view. Even those forms of love which by common consent
74 Types,7| Take, for example, maternal love. A mother can often forget
75 Types,7| recognition as Christian love for her children. One needs
76 Types,7| she loves in them? She may love her own reflection, her
77 Types,7| the world as "we." She may love in them her own flesh that
78 Types,7| difference between an egotistical love of self and a seemingly
79 Types,7| a seemingly sacrificial love of one's children, between "
80 Types,7| amounts to a passionate love of one's own which blinds
81 Types,7| passion-filled maternal love. Only that maternal love
82 Types,7| love. Only that maternal love is truly Christian which
83 Types,7| child with truly Christian love. With this kind of love
84 Types,7| love. With this kind of love she will be more aware of
85 Types,7| the presence of Christian love in her heart her relationship
86 Types,7| can be no doubt but that love for anything that exists
87 Types,7| types. One may passionately love one's motherland, working
88 Types,7| its enemies. Or one can love it in a Christian manner,
89 Types,7| it. One can passionately love knowledge and art, seeking
90 Types,7| oneself in them. Or one can love them while remaining conscious
91 Types,7| these spheres.~One can also love the idea of one's own life
92 Types,7| s path on earth. One can love life itself both passionately
93 Types,7| can direct two kinds of love toward God. One of these
94 Types,7| desires. Another kind of love, however, will humbly and
95 Types,7| apart from their name -- love -- and apart from their
96 Types,7| appearance, these two forms of love will have nothing in common.~
97 Types,7| light of such Christian love, what should man's ascetic
98 Types,7| criterion is self-denying love for God and for one's fellow
99 Types,7| even though it be through love -- this is not Christian
100 Types,7| self-abnegating and self-humbling love of Christ. Everything else
101 Types,7| humanity.~What was Christ's love like? Did it withhold anything?
102 Types,7| a symbol of self-denying love. And at no time nor place --
103 Types,7| lies his divine and perfect love in all its fullness.~This
104 Types,7| that the power of divine love is such because God, though
105 Types,7| sacrificial self-emptying?~Human love cannot be completely defined
106 Types,7| terms of the laws of divine love, because along this path
107 Types,7| everything into Christ's love, taking it up as your cross.
108 Types,7| and not about his perfect love, but about the love which
109 Types,7| perfect love, but about the love which human imperfection
110 Types,7| imperfection can assume -- "Greater love has no man than he who lays
111 Types,7| the supreme example of the love that is obligatory for Christians.
112 Types,7| Christianity leads us. Here love truly does not seek its
113 Types,7| of one's own soul. Such love takes everything from us,
114 Types,7| offering this spirit out of love, not withholding his spiritual
115 Types,7| should squander our soul in love, that we should achieve
116 Types,7| in the name of Christ's love to those who have need of
117 Types,7| It is the outer limit of love, the sacrifice of one's
118 Types,7| thinks that if I give my love, I am impoverished by that
119 Types,7| impoverished by that amount of love, and if I give up my soul,
120 Types,7| uttermost self-renunciation and love, he offers himself to others.
121 Types,7| indeed an act of Christian love, if this self-renunciation
122 Types,7| himself he obtains anew, in love, and in a true communion
123 Types,7| given away returns, for the love which is poured out never
124 Types,7| diminishes the source of that love, for the source of love
125 Types,7| love, for the source of love in our hearts is Love itself.
126 Types,7| of love in our hearts is Love itself. It is Christ.~We
127 Types,7| good deeds, nor about that love which measures and parcels
128 Types,7| Cross a symbol of divine love: foolishness for the Greeks
129 Types,7| ourselves to another in love -- to the poor, the sick,
130 Types,7| because they showed him love in the person of each unfortunate
131 Types,7| their hearts were without love, because they did not help
132 Types,7| the mystery of sacrificial love. Therein lies its whole
133 Types,7| his own self-sacrificing love for the world. He takes
134 Types,7| world this sacrifice of love as the only path toward
135 Types,7| the exclamation: "Let us love one another, that with one
136 Types,7| the name of sacrificial love for mankind.~But if at the
137 Types,7| self-giving eucharistic love, then where are the Church'
138 Types,7| sacrifice of self-surrendering love not only in a specific place,
139 Types,7| transubstantiated into Christ's love, that he may be born in
140 Types,7| offering it as a sacrifice of love for the sins of the world,
141 Types,7| from us as a sacrifice of love to himself. Then truly in
142 Types,7| measurelessness of Christian love. Here is the only path toward
143 Types,7| reveal the whole mystery of love. Nor, on the other hand,
144 Types,7| with the fire of Christian love. Christianity should ascend
145 Types,7| our neighbors, whenever in love we do not seek our own.~
