DEUS CARITAS EST " How do I love as a Catholic/Christian?" (Live…

- - - - The hallmark of philia, or friendship, is shared goodwill. Aristotle believed that a person can bear goodwill to another for one of three reasons: that he is useful; that he is pleasant; and, above all, that he is good, that is, rational and virtuous. Friendships founded on goodness are associated not only with mutual benefit but also with companionship, dependability, and trust.
    - - Storge (‘store-gae’), or familial love, is a kind of philia pertaining to the love between parents and their children
    - - Agape is universal love, such as the love for strangers, nature, or God. Unlike storge, it does not depend on filiation or familiarity.
        Also called charity by Christian thinkers, agape can be said to encompass the modern concept of altruism, defined as unselfish concern for the welfare of others
    - - Eros is sexual or passionate love, and is the type most akin to our modern construct of romantic love
    - - Platonic love is a type of love, or close relationship, that is non-sexual
    - - Pragma is a kind of practical love founded on reason or duty and one’s longer-term interests. Sexual attraction takes a back seat in favour of personal qualities and compatibilities, shared goals, and making it work.
    - - Self-love
        
        Unhealthy- narcissism
        
        Healthy- self care- taking care of ones self
- - - - What is love? = God is love
      - God is love! If we want the perfect example of love, it is in our creator God. Often, God's love is referred to as agape love which is the highest form of love that is selfless and sacrificial. It is steadfast, unchanging, and unconditional.
        
        Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
        ~ 1 John 4:7-8
        
        This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
        Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." ~ John 4:9-12
        
        And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
        This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
        There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
        ~ 1 John 4:16-18
        
        "Now therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations." ~ Deuteronomy 7:9
        
        "But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast loveand faithfulness." ~ Psalms 86:15

        love of husband/wife
        
        "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
        Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
        In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church - for we are members of his body.
        “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
        This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."
        ~ Ephesians 5:22-33
        
        I found the one my heart loves." ~ Song of Solomon 3:4
        
        Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
        The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
        That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." ~ Genesis 2:22-24
        
        May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love." ~ Proverbs 5:18-19
        
        "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
        Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."
        ~ Proverbs 31:10-12
        
        "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
        Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one’s house for love, it would be utterly scorned." ~ Song of Solomon 8:6
        
        Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
        But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
        But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." ~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
        
        “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’
        ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
        Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
        ~ Mark 10:9-6

        God created and instituted marriage. The Bible is the only true source for the definition of marriage and roles of husband and wife
    - - Love your enemies
        
        The idea of loving and forgiving our enemies sounds completely ridiculous at times. It is our human nature to want to defend ourselves and fight back.
        However, if we are called to be like Jesus, we are called to forgive those who hurt us. Loving your enemy is less about reconciling a relationship and more about the condition of your heart!
        
        “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
        If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.
        Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you." ~ Luke 6:27-31
        
        "But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.
        Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." ~ Luke 6:35
        
        "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.
        He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?
        Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect". ~ Matthew 5:43-48
        
        On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." ~ Romans 12:20-21
        
        "Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs." ~ Proverbs 10:12
      - People who may have hurt me
    - - People who hold different beliefs, ethical and moral positions
    - - "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
        If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
        If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
      - "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
        Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
        Love never fails."
        ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
      - "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."
        ~ Romans 12:9-10
      - "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law."
        ~ Romans 13:8
      - "Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." ~ Romans 13:10
      - And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13
