 WHY AM I AFRAID TO LOVE?

TABLE OF CONTENTS

1. Man's Invitation to Love

2. Human Pains in a Loveless World

3. The Self Image

4. The Maturing Process

5. Learning to Love
Beloved,
let us love one another,
because love takes its origin in God,
and everyone that loves
is a child of God
and knows God.
He who has no love
does not know God,
because God is love.

God's love
was made manifest
among us
by the fact that God
sent his only-begotten Son
into the world
that we might have life

through him.
This love consists

not in our having loved God

but in his having loved us
and his having sent his Son
as a propitiation
for our sins.

Beloved,
if God so loved us,
we in turn

ought to love one another.

1 John 4:7-11

 MAN'S INVITATION
/ TO LOVE
The word religion is derived from a
Latin word religare, which means to bind
back. By his practice of religion man
binds himself back to God who is his
alpha (origin) and omega (destiny). To
anyone who is familiar with the New
Testament there can be no doubt that the
and the essential
essential act of religion
bond between man and his God is love.
When Jesus was asked by the Pharisees:
"Which is the greatest commandment?"
he answered:

"You must love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second resembles it: You must love your
neighbor as vo^self." Matthew 23: 35-39

What does it mean to love God with

one's whole soul and mind?
heart, I

think that St. John would answer this

question by telling us that before anyone
can really give his heart, soul and mind
to God, he must first know how much
God has loved him, how God has thought
about him from all eternity, and desired
to share his life, joy, and love with him.
Christian love is a response to God's in-

finite love, and there can be no response

until one has somehow perceived that
God has first loved him, so much so that
he sent his only-begotten Son to be our
salvation.

More than this, God does not simply

have love; he is love. If and shar-
giving
ing with another is the character and es-
sence of love, then God is love. He can
acquire nothing because he isGod. He
needs nothing because he is God. He has
all goodness and all riches within him-
self. But goodness is self-diffusive; it

seeks to share itself. So the infinite good-

ness which is God seeks to communicate,
to diffuse, to share itself . . . with you . . .

with me . . . with all of us.

We know something of this love in

our own instincts to share that which is

good and is our possession: good in-

sights, good news, good rumors. Per-
haps the best analogy in our human ex-
perience is that of the young married
couple, very much in love and very much
alive because of that love, wishing to
share their love and life with new life

which it is in their power to beget. But

11
it is even more than this with God who
tells man: if the mother should forget the
child of her womb I will never forget
you!

It is precisely this that is the point of

most failures to love God truly. Most of
us are not deeply aware of his fatherly,
even tender, love. It is especially the per-
son who has never experienced a human
love, with all of its life-giving effects,
who has never been introduced to the
God who is love through the sacrament
ofhuman love, that stands at a serious
disadvantage. The God of love who
wishes to share his life and joy will prob-

ably seem like the product of an over-

heated imagination — unreal.

no human being who will

There is

not eventually respond to love if only he

can realize that he is loved. On the other
hand, if the life and world of a person
is marked by the absence of love, the
reality of God's love will hardly evoke
the response of his whole heart, soul and
mind.
False Gods Before Us

The God who enters such a life will

be a fearsome and frowning idol, de-
12
manding only fear of his devotees. The
Boole of Genesis tells us that God has
made us to his image and likeness, but
it is the most perduring temptation of
man to invert this, to make God to his
human image and likeness.
Each of us has his own unique and
very limited concept of God, and it is

very often marked and distorted by hu-

man experience. Negative emotions, like
fear, tend to wear out. The distorted
image of a vengeful God will eventually

nauseate and be rejected. Fear is a fragile

bond of union, a brittle basis of religion.

may well be that this is why God's

It

second commandment is that we love

one another. Unselfish human love is the
sacramental introduction to the God of
love. Man must go through the door of
human giving to find the God who gives
himself.

Those who do not reject such a dis-

torted image will limp along in the shad-
ow of a frown, but they certainly will
not love with their whole heart, soul and
mind. Such a God is not loveable. There
will never be any trust and repose in the
loving arms of a Father; there will never
