The Art of Loving

1. Love Jesus in every person


He said that in the final judgment, He
considers done to Himself whatever we
do to others, whether good or evil.
Therefore, we must do to others what we
do to Jesus.

2. Love Everyone
Love everyone without exception;
whether this person is pleasant or
unpleasant, beautiful or ugly, big or
small, lovable or unlovable, countryman
or foreigner.
Abstain from criticism, gossiping,
backbiting, judging or hurting others

The Father loved us first. He sent Jesus
to die for us to unite us with Him.
Be the first to say, Im sorry.
Make peace with those who are in
conflict with you.

This is especially important in dealing
with subordinates or employees.
Put yourself in the shoes of the other
person.
Remove selfishness from your heart.

5. Make ourselves one with others
If someone is suffering, suffer with him. If someone is
happy, be happy with him.
Make ourselves one except in sin.
Have a positive attitude smile
Be willing to help outside of the assigned tasks.
Attend to the unforeseen will of God

Put aside work to attend to someone in the present
moment
Be empty and listen attentively.

Do good to them and pray for them.

with new eyes each day.

7. Jesus wants us to Love one another
The new commandment Love one
another as I have loved you.

to make our love reciprocal.
Reciprocal love will lead to unity in
Jesus.

8. Almost always, love is suffering
Jesus makes us understand what love is by
being on the cross.
To make ourselves one with a person means to
deny ourselves and think only of the other
Accept routine and boring tasks because these
are Gods will.
Be ready to lose your ideas.
Bend rather than break - It is better to do
things in a less perfect way than to break unity.
