On the path of Christian vocation, the fundamental of love is held in two commandments of charity: Love the Lord your God and love your neighbour as yourself. These have a value of law, but are also included in the everyday experience of the personal dynamics of mankind, whereupon every individual is uniquely developed and diverse.Love therefore manifests itself particularly in charity, a sign characterised by a special creative force and perfect means of inscribing individual liberty in the freedom exercised through charity. The Good Samaritan of ers a practical example of charity, perhaps unreachable, but awaited by most. The act of charity is a very appreciated element of testimony of Christian faith. Moreover, since the dawn of Christianity, martyrdom has also represented the manifestation of love. After all, the place intended for martyrs is a very special one. They are a gift of life, made by Christ and signed by blood shed n the service of faith. They are the most perfect sign of human love on this earth, because their decision is made in full freedom, and in the strength of Christ’s grace. Love is therefore the ultimate fuli lment of liberty. However, as it presents itself, liberty through which love reaches its full potential is found in the one revealed by the person of Jesus Christ, particularly in His Incarnation and in the Pasqual Mystery of Redemption. Liberty is bound to truth. Liberty is only fully manifested in love. Today, mankind makes liberty absolute and often doesn’t ask and doesn’t want to know what the truth is. Consequently, at the personal level, people do know who they are, where they come from or what their destiny is. These dei ciencies steer mankind to their auto-destruction.
