Why do I keep going on about it? Because it is amazing, awesome, mind-blowing.
Look at the definition of it: A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
Ineffable means indescribable. The English language cannot describe Love - it is too limited. Thus it cannot contain the greatness of what God is. God is Love.
I like the 'sense of underlying oneness' - this should thus be an underlying part of the Church should it not?
Look at what Love is not: it is not shallow, callous, describable. It is not a feeling of loathing toward a person.
If God is Love, and God lives in us, surely we have in us the capacity to love. But not merely to love, but to be Love.
