Love in Action

 

16 This is how we know what love is: Christ gave his life for us.

We too, then, ought to give our lives for others! 

17 If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God? 

18 My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.

(the gospel of John)

16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. 

7 For God did not send his Son into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior.

Chesterton, religion, and love

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:

to look after orphans and widows in their distress and

to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

 La religión pura y sin mácula delante de nuestro Dios y Padre es ésta:

visitar a los huérfanos y a las viudas en sus aflicciones,

y guardarse sin mancha del mundo.

Who was Chesterton?

G.K. Chesterton, in full Gilbert Keith Chesterton (born May 29, 1874, died June 14, 1936), English critic and author of verse, essays, novels, and short stories, known also for his exuberant personality and rotund figure.

Frances Chesterton

“This is a love story. But it is also a detective story. And best of all, it is a true story, told here for the the first time. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was a romantic, a writer of detective tales, and a teller of the truth. His own story and the stories he told are becoming better and better known. But what has remained unknown is the story of the most important person in his life: his wife Frances.
Nancy Carpentier Brown has done incredible detective work to uncover the mystery of Frances, tracking a figure who managed to leave very few traces of herself.
It is quite likely that as more is discovered about Frances, more biographies will be written of her, and they will be even more complete. But they will all come back to this one.” Amazon
