About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of love in Christian morality as taught by Jesus and St. Augustine, emphasizing selfless love and charity.

Friends of the Rosary, Jesus said to his disciples (John 15:12-17): “This is my commandment: love one another as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” “It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. This I command you: love one another.” St. Augustine sees this Gospel as the very heart of Christian morality: not merely to love, but to love as Christ loves. This measure changes everything. Human love often seeks itself, but Christ’s love pours itself out for the good of the other. Augustine teaches that charity is the form of all virtue, because without love, even good actions remain incomplete. Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Ave Maria! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
