The Secret Meaning of Unconditional Love
The Mother Teresa Method: Finding unconditional love in politics (where everything is conditional) — The Pope weighs in
Are you anxious? Worried? The Mother Teresa Method is the one way to win every time.
She said that if you judge people, you have no time to love, adding that true love causes pain that hurts but also brings great joy.
“Even now, the Lord says to us, ‘I have called you friends’ (Jn 15:15),” Pope Francis writes in Dilexit Nos, released on October 24. “His open heart has gone before us and waits for us, unconditionally, asking only to offer us his love and friendship.”
The pope warned we too often allow “the love of Christ” to “be replaced with outdated structures and concerns, excessive attachment to our ideas and opinions, and fanaticism.”
“All our actions need to be put under the ‘political rule’ of the heart,” the pope says in the fourth encyclical of his pontificate. “In this way, our aggressiveness and obsessive desires will find rest in the greater good that the heart proposes and in the power of the heart to resist evil.”
He writes that the Sacred Heart of Jesus best responds to a “liquid society” fixated on technology and consumerism.
