Fr. Christopher Panagoplos, TOR, explains how love gives meaning and fullness to life:
“It is love that tells you what life means. God’s life in you is God’s love for you. God’s love transforms you, changes you, makes you different. You become a person in relationship. A relationship that graces you with spiritual gifts beyond the sheerly human. Only love gives meaning. Without love, words are empty. Without love, knowledge and insight are nothing. Without love, the spiritual power of faith is lacking. We may have, through the working of the Spirit, an enthusiasm for self-sacrifice, so that we give of ourselves for the neighbor or for God, giving away everything for their sake, even that is nothing done without love.”
