Back to Basics: why is love so important? by Fr. Anthony Mourad

Back to Basics: why is love so important? In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen. My beloved it should come to no surprise to any of you, that Love is very much one of the most fundamental elements of the Christian life. Scripture reveals to us that Our Lord Jesus Christ taught that “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’& ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Our Lord even goes on to say that the entirety the law hangs on these very commandments. But why is this the case? Why is Love so essential? And is it possible that what our Lord defines as love, is not always what we have in mind.
