In tribute to Pope Benedict XVI

"It is important to recognize that true love carries with it a high seriousness. It desires the true good of the other person, and therefore it has the courage to oppose him whenever he does not see what is good, whenever he is running headlong into misfortune.
In explaining this, we have already said what is positive about love. It likes the other person. It wants things to go well for him, wants him to be happy, to be more truly himself. And for that reason love is good to him. But to be good to that person I must necessarily be guided by what is good, by what is really good for him and make an effort to help him be good. A true act of love is therefore one that springs from goodness and is directed toward what is good. And so, on one hand, self-discipline is always part of love, giving way oneself for the sake of the other, and, on the other, helping him is always a part. Helping him not to be wrapped up in himself, not just to take for himself, but to learn to come out of himself and to discover the way of the grain of wheat." (God and the World)
