What is Love?
HOME

USA ROSARIES !! We hear so much today

about love. What is love,
VIEWS FROM THE PEWS anyway? Is it a feeling, an
attraction, chemistry, or
HOW TO BEAT PORN what? Love can
certainly be manifested in
THE ROSARY those ways, for sure, but
the real definition of love
MEMES is that you want the
absolute best for
PHOTOS FOR SALE someone. In Christian
theology, we are told to
POPE FRANCIS QUOTES love our enemies
(Matthew 5:44), so
SERVANT & SERPENT therefore, we as
committed Christians
should desire the absolute
THE CHURCH EDUCATES
best for everyone, even
EUROPE those we can’t stand.
And what is the absolute
FORGIVE AMERICA best? That would be
eternal happiness in
LORD heaven with Jesus Christ.
And Jesus showed us all that love requires personal sacrifice on our part for
BIBLE VERSE CHEAT that to happen, whether it’s by martyrdom, monetary sacrifice, time sacrifice,
SHEETS prayer sacrifice, or the sacrifice of just being there for someone when you
would rather be elsewhere.

REVELATIONS Some Christians think that they are saved because they go to Church every
Sunday and receive Communion. While that is excellent, Jesus says that there
THE GLOVES ARE OFF ! is work to be done in His vineyard (Matthew 20). That work consists of
building up His Kingdom on earth. How is this done? Matthew 25:35 says
the following:
T-SHIRTS, MUGS, AND
MORE! "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you
gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was
LINKS naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in
prison and you came to me."
CATHOLICBIBLE101
Those people in the following verses who did those good works gained entry
STORE into heaven; the ones that did not do those good works went the other way.
Building up the Kingdom of God consists of doing the will of God, which is
WORDSEARCH FUN taking care of the poor and boldly proclaiming His gospel. So if you are one
of those Christians who go to Church on Sunday and hate your neighbor and

the poor the rest of the week, it is recommended that you think long and hard
BLOG & PODCAST about God’s will for you in His vineyard.
A MEMO FROM THE True Christian love should inspire us all to do both the corporal and spiritual
DEVIL works of mercy:

A VOICE FROM HELL To feed the hungry;

To give drink to the thirsty;
A VOICE FROM THE To clothe the naked;
To shelter the homeless;
WOMB To visit the sick;
To ransom the captive;
ABORTION To bury the dead.

ANNULMENTS The spiritual works of mercy are:

APOLOGETICS To instruct the ignorant;

To counsel the doubtful;
ARCHBISHOP SHEEN To admonish sinners;
To bear wrongs patiently;
QUOTES To forgive offenses willingly;
To comfort the afflicted;
ARE YOU A GOOD OLD To pray for the living and the dead.
BOY? After all, Jesus says that we must bear fruit or pay the consequences:
ARE YOU SAVED? John 15:2,4,16: Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes
away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may
ARTIFICIAL BIRTH bear more fruit. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
CONTROL bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you,
unless you abide in me. You did not choose me, but I chose you
ATTAINING PERFECTION and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your
fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my
name, he may give it to you.
THE BASICS
Love Ain't Easy...
BECOMING A CATHOLIC
"When we're young, we think that love is a great wonderful attraction
THE BIBLE-73 OR 66 between parents and kids. Love means we get things from those we love.
BOOKS
When we're young adults, we think that love may be some kind of gooey
"BIBLE CHURCH" sexual attraction. Love means our constant urges must be satisfied.

CHECKLIST When we're middle aged, we start to learn that love is all about self - sacrifice,
and that includes a lot of times when the person we are self-sacrificing for
THE BIBLE ALONE? could care less about our self-sacrifice for them.

BIBLE JEOPARDY When we are old, we learn that love is really about valuing the things of the
next world infinitely more than the things of this world, and that heartfelt
BIBLE SYNOPSES prayer to God is what love is all about.."

BIBLE TIMELINE

BIBLICAL HEALING Here are some great Scripture verses on love:

BIBLICAL TYPOLOGY Matthew 22: 37-40: And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all
http://www.catholicbible101.com/whatislove.htm 2/11
10/21/2017 Catholic Bible 101 - What is Love?

your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a

BLESSED SACRAMENT second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On
VISIT these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."

THE BLESSED VIRGIN 1 Corinthians 13: 1-8, 13: If I speak in the tongues of men and of
angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
MARY And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and
all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
BORN AGAIN? but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I
deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
CAFETERIA CATHOLICS Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not
arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not
CATHOLIC ART AND irritable or resentful; Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends; as for
POETRY prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as
for knowledge, it will pass away. So faith, hope, love abide, these
CATHOLIC BIBLE three; but the greatest of these is love.
VERSES
Romans 13:8-10: Owe no one anything, except to love one
CATHOLIC BIBLE another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. The
commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill,
VERSES 2 You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other
commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love
CATHOLICBIBLEPHD your neighbor as yourself." Love does no wrong to a neighbor;
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
LEVEL
Galatians 5:22-23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
THE CATHOLIC patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-
CATECHISM control; against such there is no law.

CATHOLIC LIFE QUIZ 1 John 3:13-19: Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates
you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because
we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Any
CATHOLIC MOVIES & one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no
BOOKS murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love,
that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our
THE CATHOLIC PAUL lives for the brethren. But if any one has the world's goods and
sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does
CATHOLIC QUIZ God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word
or speech but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that
CATHOLIC STATISTICS we are of the truth, and reassure our hearts before him

1 John 4:7-21: Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God,
CATHOLIC VIDEOS
and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does
not love does not know God; for God is love. In this the love of
CATHOLICISM AND God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into
SCIENCE the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not
that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the
CATHOLICISM MADE expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought
to love one another. No man has ever seen God; if we love one
EASY another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. By this
we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given
CHARISMATIC us of his own Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father
has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses
CATHOLICS that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So
we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he
CHRIST, THE NEW ADAM who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this

10/21/2017 Catholic Bible 101 - What is Love?

is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day
THE CHURCH = THE of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world. There is no
NEW ISRAEL fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with
punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. We love,
CHURCH & STATE because he first loved us. If any one says, "I love God," and hates
his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom
CHURCH BULLETIN he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this
commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should
HUMOR love his brother also.
