Can’t mess with “persons”

God’s 5 “F”s of True Love

(the language of the body / sexuality) “THE OTHER”—relate as male to female persons, not things ……………………….....FUNDAMENTAL

“YES”………………………………FREE

“YOU ONLY”—exclusive, total gift, mutual exchange(marriage) …………….………………………FULL

“FOREVER”—commitment ……..FAITHFUL

“YES”—open to new life………….FRUITFUL

The Meaning of Life

“Man cannot live without love. He remains a being

that is incomprehensible to himself; his life is senseless

if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love,

if he does not experience it and make it his own,

if he does not participate intimately in it.”

--John Paul II

“YES”………………………………FREE

Freedom and Love“Love consists of a commitment which limits one’s

freedom—it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means to limit one’s freedom on behalf of the other. This might seem to be something negative or unpleasant, but love makes it a positive, joyful and creative thing.

“Freedom exists for the sake of love. Man longs for love more than for freedom—freedom is the means, and love is the end.”

---BJP2G, “Love and Responsibility”

“YES”………………………………FREE

The End

“THE ANIMA CHRISTI”Soul of Christ, sanctify me.Body of Christ, save me.Blood of Christ, inebriate me.Water from the side of Christ, wash me.Passion of Christ, strengthen me.O good Jesus, hear me.Within Thy wounds hide me.Permit me not to be separated from Thee.From the malignant enemy defend me.In the hour of my death call meAnd bid me come to TheeThat with Thy saints I may praise TheeForever and ever. Amen.
