Do you love me?

“Love is not merely a sentiment. Sentiments come and go. A sentiment can be a marvelous first spark, but it is not the fullness of love. It is charcteristic of mature love that it calls into play all man’s potentialities; it engages the whole man. But this process is always open-ended; love is never finished and complete; throughout life, it changes and matures, and thus remains faithful to itself”

-Pope Benedict XVI-

Loving God is a decision. It is a commitment. It demands our whole being. Jesus asks us “Do you love me?”
