To say LOVE IS GOD and GOD IS LOVE is not the same: as two
paths, one leads to the abyss, the other leads to self-realization and
salvation. To make LOVE one’s religion is to succumb to the merciless
dictatorship of the sentiments and rosy—but empty—concepts, concepts that
cannot save man from the specter of emptiness. Such is a love that does not
distinguish between anything, since it is formless, without foundation. In such
a love there is no future. But to submit oneself to a GOD who is LOVE, made flesh and taking part in
human history, is to open one’s horizon to the infinite eternity of a LOVE who
has a name and a face, and who can give me LIFE UNLIMITED.
LOVE IS NOT MY RELIGION; rather, I worship a GOD whose love
allows me to touch and embrace him through the HUMANITY that HE shares with me,
from the moment that he accepted the “yes” of a humble Virgin. It is a humanity
which I fervently hope he would eternally glorify in me when the EVERLASTING
DAY comes at last.
