What annoys you about the person or people that you rejected? 

Whether they were unbelievers or Pharisees or Sadducees or Greeks or Lebanese, for Him they were His brothers. So let us be aware that this love is a universal love. This does not take away from your love for your brothers, that is to say your mother, father, wife or children. You see the difference? This love removes nothing from you, but rather makes you much richer.

"Love one another as I have loved you." What does that mean? Let us take a closer look. We know what it means to love. Love is life. To love means to respect the other, knowing that a soul lives within the other just as a soul lives within us. That is "Love your neighbor as yourself." Despite appearances, whether a man or woman, young child or old man, the same soul lives within, and God expresses Himself through the eyes of the other. The gaze of the other is the window to the soul.

And then He says, "Love one another as I have loved you." Let's try to understand what this means, given this outline. In our society, we tend to love our husband, our wife, our children, our father, our mother, our grandparents, our aunts and uncles and all our close friends... but the others? Yet Christ reminds us of something very intense, "If you say you love your father, your mother, your uncle, your brother, your sister, you must also love all others; widen the circle of your family." This is spelled out.

Now humans, scientists have accessed the body. They have inventoried the physical body. They went deep into the human cells with very sophisticated equipment. They have discovered genes; they have found the smallest particles inside our cells. They have discovered every material detail of our physical body, but they forgot the soul. Now they have discovered DNA, which is only the vibration or the passage of the soul, but it is even much more important.

So "Love one another" means: your soul is connected to my soul, my soul is connected to his soul, his soul is connected to yours and yours... We are all connected to each other and are connected to the body of Christ, to God. He says one thing to make us understand, but we are obtuse. We have to read it a thousand times before understanding. He says: "I am the vine and you are the branches." It's in the Bible. What is this vine? It is the root, the trunk, from which grow all the branches which will provide the vine, the fruit, the grapes. To help us understand, Christ says: I am the vine, I am the stock, that is to say, the trunk, the root, I am therefore the sap, you are the branches; so you are totally connected to my sap, and you cannot live without the trunk. He told us this so that we would understand: cut a branch and it dies, yet the vine does not die.

The branch dies but the vine is still alive. And when we remove someone from our life, we cut the branch. We must understand that we are all connected to each other, and to love one another means to promote the vine without cutting any branches. For He tells us, if you cut a branch and throw it in the fire, it will burn but the vine will live on... He wants us to understand that if we want to eliminate people from our lives, people will be destroyed, but the vine will continue to live, that is to say, God. If we want to understand the meaning of love, we are truly in communication with each other and if we break the chain, we commit a murder, do you understand? This is unconscious.

To ensure that we understood, Christ said: "If you say that you love me...", because we all say: I love you God, my God I love you. We thank him. He sent us a gift, so we thank him. When we are in grief, we call Him because we need Him. But when we are in joy, when we have money, when we are happy, we forget Him, we completely forget Him. He then told us something very specific and very valuable, "If you say that you love me but you do not love the least of my brothers, then you do not love me." He wants us to understand the direct link between all men and that if we cut the link with the smallest of his own, that is, of those He created, then we do not love Him. We hurt Him as we have hurt our brother. Do you understand?

It is very important for us to understand this love. It is not carnal love, it is universal love, it is the type of love that God wants us to have. For how did Christ love? He did not love us for our beautiful eyes, our beautiful hair or our beautiful legs. He loved us as the Prophet loved, and He loved all his people and all the people who came to Him simply because they were human, and as such, He loved them. No, Jesus never made any divisions. Whether they were unbelievers or Pharisees or Sadducees or Greeks or Lebanese, for Him they were His brothers. So let us be aware that this love is a universal love. This does not take away from your love for your brothers, that is to say your mother, father, wife or children. You see the difference? This love removes nothing from you, but rather makes you much richer.

You're no longer focused on one person, because wanting to love someone in order to possess him is not love, it is possession and is totally contrary to God. When we love, we let the other be free. He arrived in the world with free will and if we love him, we have to trust him. In trusting him, he will trust you and from that mutual trust is born love, true love. But, for example, when you say, I love my husband but I want to know when he arrives, when he leaves, where he spent his fifteen free minutes... that means you do not love him, you do not trust him. So stop your scenes, stop looking at your watch and your clocks. Start loving him better by trusting what he does with his time and his activities. If you trust him, he will trust you. He too may ask you what you did during the day and if does not ask you, it's that he trusts you. So it's very important to realize that mutual trust is the first step towards love, true love. Because love does not possess. Love does not use others. Love does not destroy. Love does not make prisoners. Love gives freedom to all.
