Whenever I groan within myself and think how hard it is to keep writing
about love in these times of tension and strife which may, at any moment,
become for us all a time of terror, I think to myself: "What else is the
world interested in?" What else do we all want, each one of us, except to
love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships?
God is love. Love casts out fear. Even the most ardent revolutionist,
seeking to change the world, to overturn the tables of the money changers,
is trying to make a world where it is easier for people to love, to stand in
that relationship to each other. We want with all our hearts to love, to be
loved.... When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ
in them. God sees Christ, his son, in us and loves us. And so we should see
Christ in others, and nothing else, and love them. There can never be enough
of it.
