"Love is the lesson, and God’s love is so great that God will finally teach it to all of us."
Richard Rohr says this on a devotion. Ponder how "Love is the Lesson" and how God is teaching it.
How is He teaching you? Where are you failing to learn the lesson, t
hat LOVE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL.
(CAC Daily Meditations, March 6, 2026)
Love [people] even in [their] sin, for that is the semblance of Divine Love and is the highest love on earth. Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you have perceived it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.
—Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
"Love starts with an attitude, not a feeling."
So said Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages.
Sometimes it's not the language, but the heart, the spirit, the attitude.
Help us remember. We bring more than language, we speak a universal language of what we bring in the room and into relating.
C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity, said - ask yourself,:
“If I were sure that I loved God, what would I do?” When you have found the answer, go and do it."
Ponder that thought, and then go and do.
"Love not just a feeling - it's an action.
Love is service.
...Loving others is more than just a sentiment; it's a commitment to serve, to uplift, and to act."

"Real love is simply not possible without freedom of choice.
Compelled love is never love, and so the possibility of love entails the possibility of pain.
....For love to exist, freedom must exist."
Amy Orr-Ewing
"Love is not something we chase; it is something we invite by creating space within ourselves and our lives..."...Openness becoming ready to receive and share love in its most authentic and transformative form."
