If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

—1 Corinthians 13:3 (NRSV)

“Do you remember our Lord’s words on these subjects? To the rich man, Jesus says, ‘If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me’ (Matt. 19:21). And when he is teaching about love to one’s neighbor, Jesus also says, ‘No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends’ (John 15:13). From teachings such as these, it is evident that even before God, love is the greatest commandment of all.” —St. John Chrysostom

Sometimes I think that I don’t even know what love means, God. Show me.
