Love calls from the depths
Love
The imitation of Christ leads to obedience to do the Father’s will and shows the liberating beauty of a filial and a not servile dependence, marked by a deep sense of responsibility and animated by mutual trust, as a reflection of the loving harmony in the three Divine Persons.
Each generation has a task to perform with fresh impulse and new motivations, without confusing dedication with the degree of good results.
Love calls from the depths of one’s own self to conscious obedience, educating and forming a responsible freedom.
The Church grows thanks to the gratuitous work of the Spirit, and the unworthy servant is entrusted to the free responsibility of man "thanks to the very grace of God"[1].
