Love demands a response of faith from "summary" of Love Alone by Hans Urs Von Balthasar
Love, as the ultimate reality, demands a response from us. It is not a passive force that can be ignored or overlooked. Love beckons us to engage with it, to enter into relationship with it, and to trust in its power and goodness. This response, this engagement with love, requires an act of faith on our part. It asks us to believe in the reality and presence of love, even when we cannot see or fully understand it. Faith is not a blind leap into the unknown, but rather a confident trust in the reality of love and its ability to transform our lives. It is a response of the heart, a surrender to the mystery of love and a willingness to be changed by it. Love calls us to believe in its promises, to hope in its possibilities, and to trust in its ultimate victory over all that is broken and wounded in our world. In responding to love with faith, we acknowledge our own limitations and vulnerabilities. We recognize that we are not self-sufficient or self-contained, but rather creatures in need of grace and mercy. Faith opens us up to the transformative power of love, allowing it to heal our wounds, mend our brokenness, and restore our wholeness. It is through faith that we are able to receive the gift of love and to respond to it with openness and receptivity. Love and faith are inseparable, intertwined in a dynamic relationship that calls us to trust in the goodness of love and to live in its light. As we journey deeper into the mystery of love, we are invited to deepen our faith, to surrender more fully to its transforming power, and to embrace the beauty and truth that it offers us.
