Take Action

Love is a powerful word thrown around these days, often in ways that aren't so powerful.

Like my love of burritos.
I wouldn't exactly say it's on the same level as my love for my family.

That's why the Church often uses the word "charity," which means love.
However, charity is much more distinct. It clarifies what is often intended by Jesus when we are called to "love."

Charity is about action.
It is love in action; therefore, love is an intentional choice and not just an emotion.

And that is the type of love Jesus calls us to.
