ESPRESSO SHOT: Loving Jesus with Passion
by Father Brian J. Soliven on Friday May 15, 2026
Christianity is not chiefly a matter of mastering a catalogue of sacred facts, as though Heaven were won by passing an examination. A man may memorize every creed and yet remain as cold as stone before God. The heart of the Christian life is rather a love affair — the creature pursued by his Creator, the soul awakened by the terrible and beautiful love of Christ. For information alone may sharpen the mind, but only love can transform the person. The saints were not those who merely knew about God, but those who had become, in the deepest sense, enamored with Him.
