Jesus does not stop to teach us the vertu what makes us Christian. Throughout this week, he highlighted love. He encourages us to be perfect as the Father, although perfection is not so much an attribute of this world. Do we aspire to this perfection? This is precisely the reason for the new and greatest commandment: to love.

Humans, made of flesh we often forget this new commandment. In our relationship, our way of loving does not go beyond reciprocity, but Jesus invites us to go beyond it: let us love our enemies, let us pray for those who hate us... This calls for a radical change, a total conversion, that is, to love more than the human within us can conceive. It is the perfection of God.

Love and Salvation

Christmas is a great joy, because it is the love of God that has come to us, proclaims Fr.

It is this love and this salvation that we wish to fill our life so that we have peace.
