Despite the old saying that “everything comes and goes, there is nothing that lasts forever,” we know by faith that the love of God, indeed lasts forever. Pope Francis has said, “There is in fact Someone who is stronger than evil … stronger than the obscure conspiracies of those who profit at the expense of desperate people, than those who crush others with disdain. Christians, therefore, must always be found on the ‘opposite side’ of the world, the side chosen by God: not persecutors but persecuted; not arrogant but meek; not charlatans but submissive to the truth; not imposters but honest men and women.”
“Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might have life through Him. In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that He loved us.” 1st John 4
