What is LoVe? →
NO SUBJECT IS MORE IMPORTANT, IN any day. And no subject is more misunderstood, in our day. Most mature people, if asked to choose just one word for the meaning of life, life’s greatest value, the most important gift one can give or receive, the thing that makes us the happiest, the thing that makes one a saint, the supreme wisdom, and even the eternal inner life of God, would say that it is...

Love Endures
en·dure /enˈd(y)o͝or/
Verb: 1. Suffer (something painful or difficult) patiently.
Why is suffering a factor in loving? If it was the easiest act of our wills or imaginations, with no struggle or pain, love may not even require function or breath. In essence it might as well be a dead deed. It would go against its very nature.
Love is meant to last. But it needs to be a complete...

Love Hopes
The start of 2012 was bumpy at best. And at worst, bumpier. It made me shiver inside to know some things have somewhat ended. The finality in all things of this world awoken me. And that took a bite of the hope I had in me.
Or so I thought.
I simply realized I must not hope in hope, but hope in God, hope in love. Some sense of the “best-is-yet-to-come” is not enough; that’s...

Love Bears Our Burdens
Some say that love makes us “weak in the knees, can hardly speak, losing all control”. I guess if we romanticize love in every popular song or tome we will feel all these things. But again, love is a decision. And a tough one to make. Especially when it requires sacrifice and a willingness to carry on even when there’s no strength left.
The key is willingness or WILL. Yes,...

Love Is Truth
Love rejoices with the truth.
“Charity in truth, to which Jesus Christ bore witness by his earthly life and especially by his death and resurrection, is the principal driving force behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity. Love — caritas — is an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and...

Love Believes
Magic shows, circus acts, and Santa Claus always evoked wonder and amazement. Children are the best in their facial reactions and opinions on these. Even grown ups love seeing that slight of hand, or giggle in receiving a present they weren’t expecting.
Belief is a funny thing. It reveals so much in us we do not acknowledge right away. It reveals the simple truth that we are very much like...

Love Is Not Moody
“I’m in the mood for love…” goes this popular love song from ages ago. What does it mean exactly? Will my moods determine how much or how less my love is?
The strange brooding and melodrama in our “emo” generation has much to do with our misunderstanding of emotions. Yes, we clearly need to feel what we know, and know what we feel. However, moods swing....
