John show us that ‘Love is giving giving sacrificially even without receiving anything’. If God is love, it means that love is not just an emotion love is not merely a feeling of physical attraction towards someone and it cannot be solely exclusive to just one person. He who does not love does not know God for God is love.” (1 John 4:7-8) In this way, John makes us understand that, firstly, that love is the essence of our worship of God (we cannot claim to even know God if we do not love) and secondly, that God is love. In today’s first reading, John speaks about love saying: “Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. However, a good majority of people do not even know what these words mean, or better put, everyone seems to have their own unique interpretation of love. In all human languages, it could be said that the most popular phrase is the combination of those three words – ‘I love you.’ There is almost no song, movie or novel where this phrase does not occur. “But he answered them, ‘You give them something to eat.’”(Mark 6:37)
