Saints and Our Lord
Question from Ann on 6/4/2008:
I just wanted to add one thing to your great answer to this question. In addition to detachment from things isn't loving the Lord a decision we make and not an emotion we feel? If this person first decides to love the Lord their heart will follow. Is that correct?
Answer by Fr. Robert J. Levis on 6/11/2008:
Ann, Yes love is the major Catholic virtue together with faith and hope. And love is not an emotion, it is much more profound than that. Emotions come and go, love is constant. Fr. Bob Levis
