To love means that the person has a model of love in order to feel love.

I need to love, not with my measure, but as the other wants to be loved.

Love is manifestation.

I need to understand the other. He needs to feel my love.

To have love is one thing, to love is another.

Loving means understanding the other and loving in the measure of the other. It is not realizing myself, it is realizing the other.

Jesus on the cross loves me in my measure, He died in my place, he denied himself to love me in my measure.

Loving is denying oneself.

I have to want to love!

Love is not enclosed, it is infinite.

Homework for today: “seeing if I really love.”

God Bless you!

With my blessing,
