03204 – Greatest Danger: Fail to Love
Pope Francis

The spiritual stature of a person’s life is measured by love, which in the end remains “the criterion for the definitive decision about a human life’s worth or lack thereof”.

Yet some believers think that it consists in the imposition of their own ideologies upon everyone else, or in a violent defense of the truth, or in impressive demonstrations of strength.

All of us, as believers, need to recognize that love takes first place: love must never be put at risk, and the greatest danger lies in failing to love (cf. 1 Cor 13:1-13).

1 Corinthians 13 | all of us | believer(s) | criterion | danger(ous) | decision(s) | defense(s) | demonstration(s) | everyone else | fail(ing) | first place | human(ity) | ideologies | imposition(s) | life(time) | love(d) | measure(d) | person(s) | recognize(d) | risk(ed) | spiritual stature | stature(s) | strength(en) | think(ing) | truth(ful) | violent(ly) | worth(y)
