agapeIn the New Testament, the fatherly love of God for humans and their reciprocal love for God. The term extends to the love of one's fellow humans. The Church Fathers used the Greek term to designate both a rite using bread and wine and a meal of fellowship that included the poor. The historical relationship between this meal, the Lord's Supper, and the Eucharist, the meal of fellowship and the sacrament, is uncertain. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The Spirit calls the body into being, and we will learn next week
that agape love is the gift that must be the hallmark of the whole and
the common gift of each of the individual members. "E is for everlasting life, L is for agape love of Jesus
Christ, V is for the vitality of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I is
for the inspiration that God gives us everyday, S is the great salvation
in the blood of the lamb," said Mr. The faithful and celibate priest witnesses to this ability all the
time, because his entire life is devoted not to erotic love, or conjugal
love, or love based on feelings, but agape love, which is a sacrificial
love, a love that exists on the level of the will. |
