What is love?



In our world of the XXI century, love is perhaps one of the most misrepresented words in the dictionary. But love is a simple action which should not require of much interpretation or depiction. Love is the act of giving, giving and only giving, not ever expecting to receive anything, nothing, in exchange or retribution. Love is not an act of negotiation, but an act of giving, so that our life is fulfilled.
Opposite to love is then  selfishness as another action, which is that of just receiving, or expecting to receive each and every time, deserving it or not, just receiving and only for the self in a condition that increasingly is trapped into that illusion that says that only the ego needs to be worshipped and cared for.

In the question of good and evil, love or selflessness is good and selfishness is evil
God commanded us to love Him first, with all the intensity of our hearts and then to love our neighbour as ourselves. God is pure love and He is truth, because without truth is not possible to love, because love can only be expressed in truth.
The forces of evil will dedicate every effort then to destroy love and the truth it lives under. There is no wonder while it is observed how the truth becomes relative to the self and love becomes so much of a prostituted term that means anything but giving and even worst, when evil is dismissed as nonexistent as a product of some looser imagination.
In the world; only our humanity from our individuality, can win over evil by acting fast and decisively, expressing love for God and our peers, from each and everyone as an individual to a society that can only be as long as it is the individual who makes it exist.Let's do not forget that God always wins. The question is if we want to be with Him in the winning side.
Evil too has its own version for society, and it is not one born from the individual, but from elites sold to the forces of evil, pushing everyone from the top to be nothing but ants in a social structure that does not recognize God or the dignity of humanity, of being creation of God, but just a mere consequence of an infinite chain of accidental happenings.
We must get back to being the creatures God made to His image and likeness, to be individuals with identity, before Him for Him.
Love is the answer with faith, hope and charity

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
