CROSSROADS: What is God’s love?

Message of love: Father Novelito Lim, left, of St Mary's Parish, Echuca.

As we celebrate the month of love, let us not forget the kind of love God has given us. The love of God is forgiving and sacrificial. He loves all of us, and there is no partiality in him. He has created everyone and everything and made them in his image and likeness. The key theme that runs through this month is one of love. It is also the new commandment that Christ left behind at the last supper, inviting his disciples to love one another just as he loved them. Through his committed love, he brought new life to people. In the gospels, Jesus speaks about loving their enemies and sincerely praying for their persecutors, which shows that only a religious motivation could be the root of such unusual behaviour.
