Love is a journey of discovery and revelation from "summary" of Love Alone by Hans Urs Von Balthasar
Love cannot be confined to a static state; rather, it is a dynamic process of continual exploration and unfolding. It is a journey that takes us deeper into the mysterious depths of the other person, revealing new facets of their being that we had not previously encountered. Through this journey, we come to know the beloved in a way that transcends mere surface-level knowledge, delving into the very essence of who they are. As we embark on this journey of discovery, we are confronted with both the beauty and the brokenness of the other person. We see their strengths and weaknesses, their joys and sorrows, their hopes and fears. In witnessing the full spectrum of their humanity, we are challenged to embrace the other in their entirety, accepting them with all their imperfections and contradictions. This journey of love is not always easy or straightforward. It requires patience, humility, and a willingness to confront our own limitations and shortcomings. We must be willing to let go of preconceived notions and expectations, allowing ourselves to be surprised and even challenged by what we discover along the way. Through this process of discovery and revelation, we are not only drawn closer to the other person, but also to ourselves. We come to see our own reflection in the mirror of the beloved, recognizing both the light and darkness within us. This self-discovery is an essential part of the journey, as it enables us to grow and deepen in our capacity to love and be loved.- Love is a journey that leads us beyond ourselves, into the mystery of the other person and the divine source of all love. It is a journey of transformation and transcendence, in which we are invited to participate in the eternal dance of love that unites us with the beloved and with all of creation.
