Love is all what matters!
1 Cor 12:33 - 13:13; Lk
Just yesterday I read somewhere, the saying from Buddha: in the end, only three things matter, how much you loved, how gently you lived and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you! Jesus had further simplified all this and said: Love one another as I have loved you; that alone matters! St. Augustine surely was not exaggerating when he said: love and do what you will! Infact, the only condition that Jesus places in sharing his identity with us was LOVE (cf. Jn 13:35).
At times we can be deceived by interpretations and cultural fads. At times love can be considered a relative, emotional feeling. But are these truly 'Christian'? Christianly speaking love is not a deceptive concept...it is an absolute criterion and that is why St.Paul so beautifully lists the characters of true 'Christian' love. Those traits the Word offers us today are fool proof ways of being a Christian. Pleasing others, dancing to tunes, earning name and fame... these actually should not matter; after all, love is all what matters!
