The love that saves the world

IF we really love someone or something for it’s beauty and goodness and not for personal gratification then for sure we will cherish, admire and protect that person or entity from all danger, harm, damage and sickness. We will support and enhance that life and contribute to its growth and well-being. That is love.

The history making encyclical of Pope Francis, “On care for our common home,” presents this ideal. “The ideal of a ‘civilization of love’ ”.[157] Social love is the key to authentic development: “In order to make society more human, more worthy of the human person, love in social life—political, economic and cultural—must be given renewed value, becoming the constant and highest norm for all activity.”
