God Is Love by Pope Benedict XVI
On Christian Love
This short theological reflection examines the nature of Christian love, distinguishing bodily/romantic affection from self-giving, sacrificial charity, and showing how both are fulfilled and healed in God’s self-revelation in Jesus Christ; it explains that worship and the Eucharist are the source and summit of true charity, outlines the Church’s responsibility to practice and organize charitable works without becoming a social agency of the state, and argues that authentic love must be joined to truth and pursued alongside efforts for justice and structural improvement in society.
