God's love is an unfathomable mystery, an inexhaustible source that fills every aspect of our lives with meaning. At its core, God is love, and throughout Scripture, this love is revealed as an unbreakable bond between the Creator and his creation, a bond that binds humanity to the pierced heart of Christ.
The consecrated life is a radical response to this love. Men and women who consecrate their lives to the Lord not only dedicate themselves to prayer and service, but become living manifestations of divine love in the world. As communities that walk under the banner of God's love, consecrated persons are called to a profound intimacy with Him, to a love that transforms the heart and that, through total self-giving, is poured out on behalf of others.
This book is an invitation to deepen our understanding of God's love through meditation on his words, to contemplate his love as if it were the Lord Jesus himself who led us to discover it. Each verse presented here has been reflected on from the gaze of the heart of Christ, whose total self-giving on the cross is the supreme expression of divine love. And in this meditation, the Lord Jesus invites us to discover not only the power of his love, but also how that love is lived out in consecrated life.
