True love

Sometimes you need to tell the truth to your brother in plain words, without putting too fine a point on it, although it may hurt him – if it is the will of God. But you must do so with the purpose of saving his soul and with the attitude of forgiveness. Sometimes the will of God is to be silent and just say: “Lord, Your will be done! If You want me to be silent, I will; if You want me to attack, I will!” It is crucially important that you should be obedient to God in a particular situation. You must do it for the salvation of souls, for the good of your neighbour. And above all these things is love – and sometimes love is chastising rather than caressing. Just like the love of children involves upbringing.
